We’re not alone

There is no comparison. There’s me, and then there’s me and God. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not down on myself, not most of the time, anyway. But when it comes to thinking and doing, I can’t go nearly as deep; I don’t find the precision if I’m not exercising an awareness of God.

I can be mad at Him. I can even turn my back, but as long as I’m exercising that awareness, God is along for the ride. And there’s no better feeling, no better experience than when the content of that hits me. When it dawns that what I just did or what I just thought was far more than I’d hoped, deeper than I’d imagined, more effective than I’d dreamed — ah! That’s not to be missed.

We are not alone. We are accompanied. We have help right HERE. Turn toward. Turn toward. Keep turning toward.

Reflection

Can you recall a time when you knew you were not alone? Have you gleaned from that experience all that was and is there?

Prayer

Dear God, all too often I think and feel alone. Help me to see and confront any walls I have constructed Your way. Help me to peek around them, to allow some holes to form in them. Let me realize what my mind, what my hands can do with the weight of You behind them. Amen.
