God flows. Each moment we are alive there is a fluctuation that is occurring within our bodies. It is the fluctuation of our breath. In and out. In and out. It is not only happening inside of us but all around us. Everything in nature fluctuates. All systems of industry and commerce fluctuate. People’s ideas fluctuate. This movement of energy is a constant. The fluctuation is the evidence that everything changes. Learning to be in the flow of this energy is what gives us our freedom. We are diseased when we try to take reality and make it some sort of static way of being. We are trying to fight reality when we want to stop the fluctuation. Yes, it can be scary to fluctuate and think there is nothing we can hold on to. But what if it is equally exciting? What if, God is here to take our hand and walk through the fluctuations with us? What if God is the constant presence bringing us back again and again to the truth of who we are at our core? God is the center of our being that remains unchanged by any fluctuation. Being a part of the fluctuation is about the exploration of life all the while knowing deep within that we cannot be unfluctuated by anything.
Be Of Fluctuation!
My prayer for us is the willingness to give God’s hand a try, be in the fluctuation of life and maybe even enjoy it today.
If God is present in and through everything, what might your heart be willing to let go of to enjoy the fluctuation of more love today? Share in the comments.

Be Of Splendidness!
God glorifies. The very nature of love calls forth the magnificence of life. It is through the expression of love we experience its splendid nature. We know this when we are awed and surprised by the beauty of life. We remember this when we allow our hearts to be moved in a magnificent fashion by the simple exchange of love from a smile or a hug. The splendid nature of our hearts that God placed within us continually calls us to be in alignment with the blueprint of who we are at our core. There is no shortcut to getting to our hearts. For me, this meant facing the pain built around my heart first so I could participate as God melted the icy iron structure I had placed there. The only way to it is through it. The gift I discovered in being willing to do this was not what I feared, more ice and iron. Instead I found a splendid display of warmth and love that had been with me all along. If I had not been willing to take God’s hand and venture to bring the darkness into the light, I would have missed out on the splendid nature that grows unceasingly.
My prayer for us is the willingness to face what we think is our darkness and bring it to the light so we may see its splendor today.
If God knows at our core there is a splendid abundance of light and love, what hardened or darkened elements might you be wiling to take God’s hand and bring to the light today? Share in the comments.
Be Of Variation!
God distinguishes. In the realm of the spirit we are all one. We are aware of our current similarities now when we get to the essence of our hearts. When we focus on our outer appearance or circumstance we see the variations present. It is not an either or proposition. There is room for it all. If we remember God is in all of us and all our experiences we can quickly begin to notice the variations of God. This how we are able to embrace the reality of God. God is a variety of manifestations and experiences. We are not confined to one understanding. The only requirement be an acknowledgment that God is. What God is changes all the time. It keeps our relationship fresh and reminds us that no matter what God can be present in and through everyone and everything.
My prayer for us is the courage to let go of our ideas of what we know God to be and embrace the variations of love present in us and around us today.
If God knows we are a variation of love, what might you begin to look at through God’s eyes in yourself as a variation of love today? Share in the comments.
Be Of Sticking!
God stays. The miraculous perspective of our Creator is evidenced in the persistent nature of love in a world only defined often by barriers and strife disconnected from the truth of its heart. We seems to wander aimlessly in search of something to lay claim to with our hearts. We long to connect on a deeper level but become exacerbated when it doesn’t happen the way we picture it in our minds. I can get frustrated and want to bail or guard my heart. God doesn’t waste time getting frustrated when we don’t show up and appreciate love’s manifestation. Perhaps that is why God is a power greater than us. God just finds another way to connect. God sticks around until the miracle happens.
My prayer for us is the courage to stick around allow ourselves to be surprised by God’s staying power of love today.
If God never gives up on us, how would you like God to show yu the worthiness of sticking around for your respond to love today? Share in the comments.
Be Of Raking!
God refines. In the intimate moments of my daily meditation dates with I can sense God smoothing out the pricklies around my heart. It happens so subtly that I don’t realize it until I find myself keeping my heart open in situations where I have been inclined to protect it. The freedom it grants me is immeasurable because my heart is open to love more fully in all areas of my life. Somehow showing up on our dates is a sign of my willingness to have my heart as well as my mind changed. I am so glad God is a raker of hearts and minds to create a smooth flow of love from which I can life in my life as it is today.
My prayer for us is the experiences of openness that comes from the raking of our hearts by God.
If God knows how to smooth the edges of our hearts and minds to rake in the love and joy we are called to, what would you be willing to let fall between the spokes of the rake today? Share in the comments.
Be Of Essentials!
God is alive! We encounter an embrace by God as part of the reality of living in relationship with the Eternal One. There are no misgivings on God’s part, no hesitation. We are the ones God wants to engage in relationship. We are the living fruits of love’s expression. We are essential to the story of love made manifest. God wants for us to know in the place undisturbed deep down in our heart we are here for a reason. We are here because our love is essential for all of existence. Our expression of love is unique and much-needed in a world that has forgotten how to love. We are essential to the demonstration that God shows up in all things and through all experiences.
My prayer for us is the courage to embrace our essential nature in the manifestation of love today.
If God knows we are essential to the story of love present in the world, how can God assist you in remembering your essential nature of love today? Share in the comments.
Be Of Chances!
God oversees. In our invitation from God to be in relationship we are being asked to open our eyes to see more than what we are currently able to see. The gracious Creator who has designed an entire world wants to open our hearts and our minds to the infinite possibilities that lay at our feet. It is hard to let go of what we think we know and take a chance on what God has to offer. Sometimes wonder if at the end of this life I might have wished that I took a few more chances on God. I have crossed over into a time in my life facilitated by living in recovery which means many things for me. It means not trying to slowly kill myself with food. It means not walking around with a seemingly protective physical garb of an extra 100 plus pounds. It means not trying to squash every physical and sexual feeling or thought that I have because I think I am dirty. Most of all it means one day at a time I believe like God that I am worth taking a chance on. I am worth not abandoning. I too have a love so great within me that if I were to live to be a thousand years old, I might begin to get an inkling of what it means to be love. I am filled with gratitude for my Creator’s infinite wisdom and persistence knowing one day I might just be willing to reach out my hand and say, “Okay God, let’s take a chance today.”
My prayer for us is the willingness to take a chance on God’s view of love and see what might be possible today.
If God always knows we are worthy of the love from which we were created, how can God let you know in your own special way it’s okay to take a chance today? Share in the comments.
Be Of Bonding!
God is connected. Being in relationship with God means we are in union with All That Is. Our purpose becomes clear when we remember where our power lies. The utilization of our design is fully present when the connection to God is a flow back and forth. Even when I feel like there is a breakdown between me and God, I know if I keep the lines of communication going, our bond is not broken. No matter how separate from God I may feel, it is simply not possible to be separate. It would be like trying to undo my own blueprint. My daily meditation dates are my commitment to the bond I share with God and I choose to show up even when I don’t feel it. I choose this because feelings and thoughts are not greater than the essence of who I am. Sometimes my perceptions are off and the best way to restore them is to show up for our date. My bond with God is the life-giving force that reminds me who I am at all times. Our daily dates are sometimes the only way I know how to reach out for God’s hand to help me connect back to my deepest self residing always in my heart.
My prayer for us is the curiosity to explore the bond we have with God even when we don’t feel like it is there today.
If God knows we are bonded, how can God assist you in opening your eyes to the bond of love that is in the fabric of your very being today? Share in the comments.
Be Of Good!
God is good. When we look at our lives through the lens of love we see a whole world through the eyes of goodness. God designed us to operate with the acknowledgment of the goodness and wholeness of others. It is important for our soundness of mind to be in connection to our hearts which see with the eyes of love. Especially when our minds are constantly being barraged by images and ideas of fear. It is easy to slip into thinking that lovelessness is the law of the land What we focus on expands. God encourages us to focus inward and spend time in the space of our hearts which recognizes all the goodness and truth of love that is also present. Then we can approach what we see on the outside world with the balanced perspective of the goodness that is inherent in everything we are seeing. The world becomes a place in need of or demonstrating love and we are clear on our purpose in that moment as bringers of love or witnesses to love.
My prayer for us is the courage to connect to the goodness in our own hearts so we may witness the goodness of the outside world today.
If God knows of our inherent goodness at all times, how can God show you the power of the good that is present in your heart in this very moment? Share in the comments.
Be Of Cultivation!
God forms. Our connection with All That Is provides a blueprint of guidance on how to be the best version of ourselves. Everything we need is already within us. Our journey consists in cultivating a relationship to our inner guidance. In the beginning it is inherent and we have not yet forgotten. This is the innocence we see present in children. This means we can often go along in life without noticing the grand design within us or take it for granted. As we go along in life we add layers of knowledge and wisdom. We also add stories and meanings that are not true to who we are. Some of these elements while not intending to, can make connecting with the truth of who we are difficult. I have found that first I had to slow down and become aware of the layers on top of my heart before I could connect to the beat of my heart. Cultivating time and space to discover and chose whether or not to discard such elements is crucial to bringing us back to the power and the fruits of a relationship with the knowing of our hearts.
My prayer for us is the courage to take the necessary steps in cultivating our internal guidance system and live from our hearts the best we can today.
If God is eternally connected to us through our hearts, how can God encourage you to cultivate your awareness of God’s presence in your heart today? Share in the comments.
