Years ago Apple,Inc. was running an ad campaign, “Think Different.”  They had posters and ads with the faces of great thinkers of our time like Einstein, Jim Henson, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Amelia Earhart, Martha Graham, and more.  I remember overhearing someone criticize the campaign for incorrect language.  The correct English would have been to say, “Think Differently.” The point of the campaign I presume was to see it differently and to do so the alleged incorrect grammar garnered more attention.  When we think differently what we think about is different.  On my daily dates with God I am invited over and over again to think differently.  God encourages me to come at an experience or a fixed perception from an angle I had not even considered.  She is ready to show us love differently than we are used to seeing it. Where I see black and white, God sees a whole rainbow of colors.  Where I see options A or B, God sees the whole alphabet.  In order to think differently, I have to open my mind up and let go of my fixed way of seeing things.  I am not able to allow the experience of differently to occur if the eyes of my head and especially the eyes of my heart are blocked by what I have determined is love or not love. God invites each of us to open the eyes of our hearts and heads to see the evidence of love all around us.  God sees love differently. If we are convinced that there is no love present in what we are seeing or thinking about, we will not be open to the presence of love showing up in a different fashion.
