When we reflect on the status of our lives, what we see is a weaving of all our experiences and knowledge up to this point. We like to think that if we did not have to deal with certain circumstances or people that we might be better off.  We think if we could excise certain elements from our lives we will be free.  The reality is all of life is designed to grow us in love.  All of existence is present for us so we can learn how to grow our capacity in love.  The funny thing is that circumstances and people present themselves as exactly the opposite of love.  This causes us to get lost.  We attach to the form that is presented and sometimes lose the lesson.  We forget life is about growing our heart not our status.  We lose what we might be able to weave into our experience and become more of ourselves.  Ultimately, God wants us to know the presence of light and love within us.  We do not need to be hindered by what we see going on outside of us.  Whether it is good or bad circumstances, helpful or harmful people, or whatever other stories we come up with claiming that we cannot grow from them.  It is humbling to admit I often forget God uses all of life to grow me in love, not just the elements I think I would prefer.  It is up to me to weave the learning of love, not the form it shows up in, to a new understanding of the power of light and love.  We do not need to incorporate the form, just the lesson.  It is the lessons that reveal who we are to ourselves. Within the lesson is the opportunity to weave in the truth of love as it resonates in our hearts.  So when I am put off by someone who is irritating or annoyed by having to wait in traffic and see nothing worth weaving into who I am, I can stop and ask, “God how do you see this?“
