The gracious part about a daily relationship with God is it enables me to verify to my questioning mind the consistency of God.  There is no question of God’s everlasting presence except in my head sometimes.  Because we live in an ever-changing world full of duality the way God operates seems to not match.  How could a being possibly be there at every turn?  Isn’t it in our nature to abandon?  It may be in our nature, but God is not our nature.  Verifying that God does not operate in the same way keeps me coming back to my heart.  My heart is always beating. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow.  It pushes the nourishment provided by my breath through my system to keep it going.  I do not often stop to think about it or verify it, but it continues.  God is the same way.  Often times when we see God as a being that cares from a distance or who does not really seem to show up, what we are experiencing is human.  We easily place human qualities on God.  Yet God is not capable of existing in just human form.  God embodies the very essence of love which holds no boundaries.  Verifying how God thinks can be done as easily as recognizing what is the flip side of how I think.  I can ask myself a simple question: is what I am experiencing an opportunity to know love or grow in love?  If the answer is yes, I am in the space of verifying God’s presence.  If the place I am in is pushing love away or seeing everything as other or separate, I am stuck in human perspective.  Taking a step back allows for the verification of God’ perspective which allows more breathing room and more life.
