dailydatewithgod

There are many times when I question whether or not I am on the right path.  Over the years I have warmed up to the idea that it is not about a right or wrong path.  The perspective I have adopted as a result of my daily dates with God is looking at it through the lens of whether or not I am actually on the path I am on.  It sounds funny, but I am sure I am not the only one who has spent time thinking, “this isn’t how it is supposed to go” or “why did this have to happen?” or ” I think I am doing this wrong because it is not working out the way I hoped it would.”  My willingness to trust in God’s assurance of my capability have lent me the vision to see that I am capable of more than I thought I was.  The courage in my heart far surpasses what I knew to be present within me.  God assures me often on our dates that if it is in front of me, it is most likely meant to be there.  I actually sometimes embrace when things do not go my way as a sign of letting go and trusting in God’s assurance.  Through it I will develop my own assurance of what my heart and mind can do.  It is an assurance that the world holds within it so many possibilities and ways for our growth in love. So even if it looks like dealing with an angry roommate, being stuck in traffic, or learning to love my body just as it is today, I can be assured that when I keep my eyes on God it will unfold exactly as it is meant to.
