It may be hard for us to fathom the idea that God is excited by our very existence but it is true.  God is love and creates all from love and in love.  What is more exciting than love.  God looks upon his creation and is excited at finding yet another way to show the world how much she adores it.  We are the exciting element of life.  Each of us.  We get an inkling of the possibility of God thinking like this because it is so contrary to how we think.  Over the years as my relationship with God has grown and changed, I am repeatedly reminded of how God sees things differently than me.  When I am humble enough to reach for God’s hand and whisper, God, show me how to see this differently or ask How do you see this? my whole perspective shifts.  The shift brings a light into my experience and it is always for the better.  By opening myself up to an exciting perspective I am actually more at home in the truth of who I am.  We see it in children who are probably the closest to God because of the limited time it has been from their original conception.  They find everything exciting.  All is novel and full of wonder.  They want to learn and grow and be shown a new perspective.  We lose that the more we disconnect from our own hearts.  Life can wear us down if we let it. It takes courage to be willing to let go of our perspective and adopt an exciting one.  It does not mean never experiencing bad things or being comfortable all the time.  It is an intuitive trust that there is life and love present in whatever it is we are experiencing.  This is the excitement, the hope, the belief in love.  On a day when we are worn out, frustrated, and feel like there is a dark cloud following us around it can be hard to conceive of any kind of excitement.  For me the quickest way to step back on the path of excitement of life is by taking a deep breath.  Even I forget all the time how simple the path of excitement begins.
