Recalling my rock and redeemer...
Often the solution to something challenging that happens can be recalling the idea of “One God.” This one idea is the answer to many of my struggles.
Again and again, I find myself wanting attention, affection, approval, validation… from people. This wanting has an enslaved quality to it, where I’m begging for someone I have anointed to define me.
When I’m disappointed in or hurt by a human, taking time to acknowledge the “ouch” helps…I breathe, listen, offer kindness to myself and the other person involved (in my mind acknowledging I can’t know what they’re going through)… AND…
HERE’S THE BIG AND… and I turn to the idea of “One God.” To have faith in One God. To give power to One God.
I take back power I gave to people… to love me, define me, see me, validate me… and I give it all to God. This is a daily practice.
When I remember to feel that God sparkles with love for me ALWAYS, I feel full of sparkle and a secret kind of tenderness. It’s a little kid feeling ~ when life is joyful and timeless, like running on a beach chasing seagulls, jumping in waves and making sandcastles.
In these moments of truth, I know the sparkle of God’s love for me IS TIMELESS AND BIGGER THAN THE SEA.
This grace and beauty comforts me. My rock and redeemer.
One rock. One redeemer.
When your space gets rocked, may you take a breath, offer the “ouch” kindness and find beauty and grace in One Rock, One redeemer who loves you ALWAYS.
