Given the distance we often seek from one another and the hiding we do in relationships it is hard for us to imagine a God who desires to enfold our very being.  We spend a lot of energy buffering our experience with others.  We do it to protect our hearts, keep our identity in good standing, and avoid looking foolish.  Yet, when we see demonstrations of love overtaking all of our protections we are moved.  We recognize there is something real happening.  Without realizing it there is a consciousness that the people we are watching have the courage to let down their guard and let their heart show.  God’s enfolding nature is within our hearts already.  It is why God wants to keep it alive in our minds as well as our being.  When we realize we are in a vulnerable emotional space we have a decision to make.  Do we risk staying with it and seeing what happens as we interact with each other and the world or do we shut down as quickly as possible?  Many of us learned to shut down so quickly we do not recognize the choice when it appears.  I know I did.  My daily dates with God have opened me up to be more courageous because God is ready and willing to enfold me with more love as I practice living from my heart. God has got me on this one.  God has placed a calling in our hearts to make room for our vulnerability and is willing to enfold us with more love than we can imagine as we take the risk and let down our guards.
