In God’s Care

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them…. Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

- Matthew 6:25-27 New International Version

Peace comes to me as I learn to let go and trust in God’s care for me. It’s here where I see the simplicity of it—how the stress of what I fear will happen (namely, not getting what I want) separates me from my Inner Child and God, and the Truth. The Truth is that Love is why I am here—to feel loved, to express love, to share love. I cannot be in Love when I am in fear. I cannot experience life awake when I am in fear. And my fear is not the truth of how I am cared for, what will happen to me, or whether my needs will be met.

It always amazes me how quickly I get lost in the dream of my fears, and how quickly I believe them and live my life from them. No matter how many experiences I have had that tell me plainly of God’s care for me, I still become merged with my Wounded Self’s vision of reality. Yet gradually, and not by any clear course or trajectory, the veil that fear casts becomes less dense as my intention to love grows. I am taken less by the lure of its intoxication, and see through the faulty logic of what it promises.

Thank you Blessed One for helping me see the Truth and feel the Truth, if even for these glimpses that bring in fresh air.
