God’s goodness is nearer to us than we are to ourselves, and this goodness is not a static or inert presence. Rather, it is a dynamic force that always seeks to break into our individual and collective lives with untold blessings. However, it is up to us to create the opening that allows this breakthrough to occur. This opening begins with meditation, prayerful silence, and letting go of our agendas. From this interior space we aspire to align ourselves with God’s will, which is another name for the force of goodness. We don’t always have to have an absolutely clear map relative to God’s will. We must, however, commit ourselves to being a force for good, peace, and love in all that we do. As we proceed in this manner, God’s wisdom becomes our wisdom, God’s breath becomes our breath, and God’s life becomes our life. Today, stay awake. Remain conscious of God in the midst of your activities. Choose to be a force for good in the world.
Beloved God,
At every moment,
You wait
To fill me with your goodness.
