dailydatewithgod

The more time I spend with God on our daily dates and throughout the day, the more I see things for what they really are.  God invites me continually to an inner awareness of whatever experiences or ideas I am having.  It is not because I have all the answers, but I am the one having the ideas and experiences.  On some level, they work for me.  What I may not realize at the moment is the division they are causing within myself.  When I experience separateness outside in the world, I am merely witnessing my own capacity for division with myself.  God draws me back again and again to the space within my heart where there is no division.  No division of me from the truth of who I am.  I buy into the division because I am busy trying to get life to fit into the picture of what I think and want it to be.  I get stuck on the challenge of taking life as it comes.  From a survival standpoint, this makes complete sense.  Our brains are geared for survival.  Our hearts are geared for full life experience.  That includes standing at the edge of what we think is the division and finding a bridge.  The bridge is the connection between our minds and our hearts.  When we focus on needing life to be a certain way instead of tending to the maintenance of the inner connection we see the division.  It takes consistent practice to cultivate the awareness of the bridge within us. It takes faith to trust it is there even when we don’t see it.
