So this morning as I was doing my quiet time, I glanced out the window and thought "I wonder if there are enough leaves gone that I can see my "God light", and was rewarded with a blink of light off in the distance. Yeah! My reward for the plain-ness of winter is that light.
I call this my "God light" because I know it is there even when I can not see it. Just like God. I know He is always with me, even when things do not seem to be going the way I want them to be. So, while I am not at all ready for the potential weather that will cause me to feel isolated, I welcome the loss of the leaves on the trees so I can see that light.
But the interesting part, is that I can't always see the light when I seek it. And I can not exactly explain why. I know that weather conditions will obscure it - and maybe when certain tree limbs are moved certain ways. And it's like I try too hard sometimes. But if I am still and keep my faith, it will pop into view. Just like God, it is always there - sometimes I try too hard, and sometimes I just need to "let go" and allow it to come into view.
But I KNOW God is always with me, and for that I am eternally grateful.
Amen
