Sometimes without intending to we find ourselves in situations or circumstances that we could not imagine were possible or conversely would not want to be experiencing.  This could be positive or negative experiences. With the positive ones, we consider ourselves lucky.  With the negative ones, we see ourselves as victims.  How might we view the circumstance differently if it became an opportunity to access a part of ourselves with which we are not in touch?  What if positive or negative the experience we are having is a chance to access a connection with ourselves we did not know was there?  What if it is a gift to access a part of our heart, mind, body, or soul?  Perhaps we are having the experience so we can access the knowledge of what it means for the different parts of ourselves to work together.  There are so many possibilities when it comes to the reasons for things to happen.  I know there are many times in my life when I wanted to escape an experience because it was horrible.  I was not in the frame of mind of asking myself what it might be giving me access to within myself.  Only with my daily dates with God have I begun to alter my perspective to one of learning.  How can this circumstance provide access to a way to connect with myself or others in love?  Is it possible I am experiencing this because God wants me to access my courage?  One thing I have learned is things are never what they seem.  I cannot know all of why things happen although I could go on and on trying to figure out the whys.  My daily dates with God have shown me the value of bringing myself to access my heart.  Doing so provides a broader, more loving perspective of whatever it is I am experiencing.
