God wants us to be the cause to our effect. God desires for us to draw our life’s blood from the love he causes in existence. Life invites us through seemingly challenging circumstances reflect on what is causing the effects in our lives. When we stop to notice how we are showing up in the world and what impact we are having we see our effect. Some of us don’t believe we are enough to impact anyone or anything but God sees things differently. She did not create anything that would not make an impact. We expect our impact to be grand and profound with big actions and results. But think about the effect of the reassuring nod of acceptance and love you feel from a friend when you most need it. Remember a time when you took a chance to smile at a stranger and they surprised you by smiling back and your heart skipped a beat. We are not even aware of the effects we have on each other energetically. If God is our cause then love becomes the underlying energy from which all our effects will be felt.
My prayer for us is the willingness to pay attention to the effect we have on others today.
