Being with God is not only the safest but the most peaceful places to be. God dwells in eternal love and light.  Within our hearts is the dwelling of God.  There is a vital connection God creates upon our beginning which can never be severed ensuring God always having a dwelling place in our lives.  We can cover it up, we can try to run from it, we can block it out, we can deny it, we can convince ourselves it is not possible, and we can make up stories and find facts to dispute it.  I know I have tried pretty much every one of those variations at some point.  My head would just not be convinced that anything worthwhile could be gained from reconnecting with something inside me.  Luckily God is patient and never waivers in belief of us finding our way home.  As the world I created came tumbling down and broke open the guard I had built upon my heart, I can began to see through the cracks of my thinking.  Slowly and persistently because I had run out of other good ideas I began to spend some time, which I now refer to as my dates with God, exploring the dwelling near and eventually in the heart space where God lives.  I am not saying I connect with it on every date but once I remembered it, I could no longer look away.  I am reminded in the words of one of my favorite songs by Martika:  “Even when there’s no peace outside my window, there’s peace inside.  And that’s why I no longer run.”  When I spend time in the dwelling place on our dates I am restored to the knowledge of who I am as always connected to light and love along with everyone else.
