A Divine Scandal (page 6)

Guess you could say this is where I'll find God.  But I'm not even sure if it's so much about finding the Divine Intimate as it is about realizing you are constantly in the presence of Him.  It's not as though God has put up a sign on the door exclaiming that He will be back in 30 or 40 minutes or whenever lunch is over.  I think it is us who put up that sign.  And we don't just put it up at noon time, tea time, dinner time, time for a fancy date out, time to hit the bars and time to get to work late as usual for no other hang over reason but just because we piddled around getting out of bed.

We put that sign up as constantly-often as our Heavenly Father is faithful toward us.

(I think I hear a faint echo from a slap in the face coming from a distance.  No?)

If I am guilting you then I do apologize.  That's not a cool feeling to have to deal with.  But if you are feeling guilty, then please, don't dwell on the emotion, rather use it to change the perception of the life which our Creator has given us.

I am criminal to unfaithful ends toward our Divine Constant.  You may think I'm completely going back on my word from yesterday, but I'm not.  Yes, my not paying attention to God's existence in my every breath can be counted as a crime of unfaithfulness. It can also be just me as oblivious me easily distracted by life's shiny things.  And this is one of the many of humanity's cruces.  

So I will continue to deal with the momentary blips, which when all combined form the one large blip that is life.  And on a day when I recognize the Divine's existing in that moment, I will be blessed beyond compare.  Then on the next day when I'm distracted and confused, stressed, happy, and rotating through every emotion, I will reside in a silent confidence that my Lord will still remain faithful.

  1. God is so faithful. and I am so blessed when I am attentive to his graces all around me. I am greatful for the little things he does in my life each day. and I am greatful for the Savior and his forgiveness.
