dailydatewithgod

One of the gems to come out of my daily dates with God is the experience of the steadiness of love’s presence.  I have had my fair share of ups and downs with God over the years but the one thing that always stayed present in my mind and heart was how God remained steady in love’s commitment. No matter what my ideas or experiences were, even in moments when I doubted if God was present, my heart kept beating, my eyes kept opening, and my breath went in and out. I do not know what happens when we die.  I sense it is a transition to another experience but as long as I am alive, I am available to the steadiness of love.  I may dance around it, I may run from it, I may fear it, or I may embrace it.  Love’s power is steady no matter my thoughts or feelings about it.  God has shown me on our daily dates the power of presence even when I am disconnected from it.  I can’t quite explain what I am trying to convey but there is something that compels me to show up to our dates regardless of what I am thinking or feeling.  The commitment of showing up carries me through the times when I am not interested or don’t believe it makes a difference.  Showing up is the steadiness of making room for love to surprise me when I am about to give up hope.  My system echoes the steady capacity for love to take a turn when I am facing what seems like a dead end.
