A little reminder to anyone who might need this today.

I know it sometimes seems like this isn’t true, but just because something SEEMS to be true doesn’t mean it IS true. There are many things that seem to be true but aren’t. It looks like the sun disappears at night or is swallowed by the ocean. It seems like some roads narrow and disappear in the distance. I can look like there’s water on a road that has none and that some trees are dead in the winter. For a long time, peeps even thought the world was flat.

We don’t panic when driving on a hilly country road because we fear we’ll fall over the edge. We’ve had too many experiences that tell us that we won’t, so we drive on without a second thought.

The same holds true with life in general: We need different experiences that teach us that no matter how it might SEEM, we are never alone, and there is a strength within that is greater than any storm.

But how do we have these new experiences? This strength is seen through what might be called spiritual vision, which needs to be developed. It’s an inner knowing, an awareness that is clearer than anything seen with the eyeballs.

Go within. Listen. Ask. In order to find this strength, we have to look for it where it abides…within. The most important thing is to listen; this Strength doesn’t need us to tell it anything. It doesn’t need us to beg, plead, give a long litany of what we need and want, or try to make any bargains. It wants us to know we are always safe and never, ever alone.
