“God is my strength. Vision is His gift…”
God is all strength. As we place our faith in truth, invariable we want only to see, truly, and vision is the only way… Luckily, it is a natural unfolding as we accept Gods strength above our attempt to control the images on the screen of our lives…
In today’s exercise we begin what becomes a continual practice, that of trusting that that which is doing the seeing or envisioning rests in the Strength of God, from which we could not be apart. For God who created us and gives us life, must then be the source of any true strength we will ever posses. We choose this strength today and feel the gift of our transforming perception as we look upon our lives, whether in our minds or at the world around us.
Resting in God-Love, I watch… Noticing the attempted busyness the little mind seeks to find its safety and strength in… its attempts at the petty judgments about what to do and where to go ~ looking for the ’right’-ness criteria for evaluation. This is how ego-mind tries to keep itself ‘pumped up’, trying to stay ahead of its inevitable deflation and ignorance.
…I no longer seriously identify with this personality set of ideas. ~forgiveness has replaced them with my Self ~ God’s Son… Indeed, where they were once ‘me’, I now rest above the battleground where God’s strength has accomplished the seemingly impossible
I have but ask for the truth; to ‘see what I denied, because it was the truth’ and I have made welcome for whatever may seem to come.
Seeing the impossibility of God’s mind being somehow mistaken or something ‘accidentally’ or ‘wrong’, has allowed me to trust that “we cannot but be in the right place at the right time.”
Resting in the Moment, Now, I see the ego’s antics~ laughable really, its pathetic attempts to control itself and its world… ~Yet, beneath and beyond it all, within and without, is the loveliness that vision shines upon this seemingly world.
…And there within that same moment, I see the simple truth. All strength is mine, for I share the mind which never left me, but waits patiently for recognition. Here is a Silence upon which the world cannot intrude; serenity so still and gentle that the whisper of the Holy Spirit is the only thing I hear….
Aahhhh, the yummy tranquility of Heaven… ~this is my Home. Home is where the heart is and where the heart is, there is our treasure also, resting in the Heart of God. What but this could I have ever wanted, and only this was what I sought, regardless of the convoluted forms it has taken in my life.
God is my strength. Vision is His gift…
And having glimpsed such a Quiet, who would seek for anything else? It turns out all things do work together for good~ and the world of busyness dissolves into Quiet. The world of distractions ends as unified purpose zeros into a single-pointed awareness. The world of pain and sorrow and sadness and grief turn to joy, and unity and happiness and laughter! …What but the Love of God offers eternal Gifts such as these? Finally we come to accept that these are the only gifts we want and give them freely as they were given us…to keep them…
Why wait…even another moment of this time we’re so fond of… Right now, together, we sink deep into the mind and open to the truth “God is our strength. Vision is His gift.”…the experience waits for our welcome… "Love waits on welcome, not on time"… and with our welcome we bring Love into our constant awareness… to give ~ to keep~ with eternal love and gratitude ~
