Meditation – March 31, 2009

Posted on Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Scripture: You have made known to me the path of life; you fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Psalm 16:11

Prayer: Lord, guide my reflection this morning.

Response: The path, you have come to realize, is distinct, unique for each of you. There is a quality about it that you all experience and that is the joy that I shower on you when you let go, release your expectations and accept fully the love that I shower on you. In the letting go, you clearly are present and aware of my presence. There is no circumstance in your life that can thwart this experience of joy. Rather than attempt to challenge this statement by reviewing past events and crises, might I suggest that you simply accept the statement on face value, beginning with this moment?

Put aside, relinquish the hold of all the tasks that lay before you this day – I didn’t not say ignore them as not worthy of accomplishment – rather I said relinquish the hold, the distraction each represents. And for this moment, be in my presence consciously. It is as if you are entering a protective dome of light – golden light – and there everything is revealed as to each circumstance’s significance. You will find there the wisdom to distinguish the intricacies of seemingly insolvable issues related to your life.

Conscious in my presence, you experience a joy that exceeds any expectations that you might have nourished earlier. But conscious you must be, though accept that I never leave your side. This joy breaks through whatever time considerations that you generally associate with time and time constraints. And that joy, even if you can remain awake intermittently, is a hint of the eternal pleasure and joy that await you when you are fully conscious to my love. In the midst of the turmoil of your life, snatch awake this joy.

All for this morning.
