"Thou, God, seest me perfect." The Upanishads
It makes me sad to
see people trying to earn God's favor. The Creative Power of Life
expresses through us. It doesn't merely put up with us; It needs us. We
are how the divine Presence knows Itself. We are how It expresses
Itself. God doesn't look at us from far away and see sin and depravity.
God looks at all of creation as we might look in a mirror; and God
smiles approvingly at the beautiful reflection.
We make
mistakes, of course. We don't always remember our divine potential. We
don't always live in the power of Love that we are. But the truth of
our being is that we are enough. Transcendent Life expressing in,
through, and as us is always enough. We are good enough. And as we
embrace this truth, we experience more hope, more joy, more freedom in
our lives.
Let's pray this week, "
Dear God, you see goodness
when you see me. May I see that same goodness and live into it and
trust its truth now and always. Thank you, God! Amen."
