Sometimes we are afraid of being aware.
Maybe we will discover what we don’t want to know about ourselves or others.
{What if I don’t think I can handle what I might find?}
Coming into greater clarity might mean:
Seeing your home as it really is;
Coming to understand a challenge someone you love is facing;
Becoming aware of destructive thoughts you may be habitually thinking;
Getting clearer about changes that need to happen in order to move forward.
I offer this reminder to us, as we are all hopefully in the process of heightening awareness, that there is Someone standing behind us, always with us, who will never leave us and delights to comfort and nourish us; that He is not found in things or any possessions; that no mere mortal can replace.
With His strength and power and love, we will have or gain the ability to see, to feel, to rejoice, to grieve, to learn, to risk, to accept and to change.
Knowing He is there makes all the difference.
Knowing we are loved helps us see purpose and growth in pain.
Knowing we’re not alone keeps us present and working through our “stuff” instead of retreating into fear, hiding, compulsion and addiction.
He is our friend, and awareness is a gift.
God give us the strength to be shown ourselves, as we really are so that we can take inventory and move on!
Love,

Sometimes I feel like these posts are written JUST for me! Thank you, Jacque!!
Isn’t that funny how that can happen? I often am writing to remind myself of something! I’m so happy that you feel some benefit too. xo
