In a world of cause and effect we can view ourselves as being tossed about by life. We feel as though we are being pulled in many different directions.  We are impacted by the people and experiences with which we interact.  This makes sense we are not islands, we do not operate completely independent of one another.  The distinction that God wants us to make comes in choosing what influences us.  We can be affected and impacted by many things, but we get to choose which influences our being.  What is happening does not need to take away the influence of God or our understanding of ourselves.  We can choose to continue to the let God’s influence and the power of love in our hearts be our guiding force.  We can acknowledge the effect or the impact but not take action based on it.  God wants us to know life is about who we are being not what we are doing.  God always sees us as the love we are and cheers us on as we choose to be influenced by it instead of the whims of the world.  It takes courage to allow the influence of God to remain in the forefront of our  minds and hearts.
