God’s presence felt through love of creation.

When you pray for God’s presence, it is not merely felt as a resolution of all challenges. Rather, God’s presence is most deeply felt when there is a resonance of the love within to the love of the Creator, to the love of all of creation. You belong to all that exists. You belong to all that has existed. You belong to all that will exist as you experience it. Your response from the loving center is an affirmation of your belonging to that entirety of creation.

Strength comes from an identity with love. Strength comes from your willingness to be vulnerable. Strength comes from your capacity to accept the love of others. Strength comes when you are able to take the love you are filled with and pass it outward toward others who need that nourishment. Your life, therefore, is best seen as a desire for balance, the giving and the receiving of love.
