God is about union. It is hard to imagine world where we could not return being brought together. To reconcile means to “re”-back; “conciliare”- bring together. Bring back to union with one another is a sign of love’s victory. It does not mean we are all alike or there are no distinctions. It means we know we are interconnected. We have one spirit of truth, light and love that lives and breathes in all of us. We recognize that no matter what elements separate us or make us appear as different at our core we are together. When I am struggling to feel together with another human being and have no idea how to reconcile who they are being with who I am, I have to pause. I ask God for the willingness to see his/her innocence. I tilt my head to see if I can see any light in them. It seems as though most of those who have allowed the darkness to fester and are most in need of light will disengage from it at every turn. When I am lost in the darkness I begin to fear that I will never find light. Upon encountering it there is a disbelief that I could be illuminated by the presence of such light that has seemingly disappeared from me. I may push back from the light that wants to bring me back together. It is the whisper of God that longingly calls me to reconcile not only with the person who is showing up as the light in that moment but also the light within me. God never loses sight of the light within me, no matter how much darkness I try to pile on top of it. Reconciling my perspective with God’s is what allows the light to grow.
My prayer for us is the willingness to trust the process of reconciling ourselves to the light approaching us and the light within us today.
