Dear God,

Life lived in the deep can restore and renew relationships. Listening to your voice can bring a renewal not otherwise possible.

I have discovered that a life solely humanly directed will reap only limited benefits. If I act as if I am God over my own life, then I will acquire certain benefits by trusting in my own capabilities and efforts. I will, however, come to the end of my potential.

But, a life lived with you at the center of my existence can open me to a vast, yet unknown world, capabilities that go beyond my own capacities. I can connect to a greater source whose powers, resources, and ideas are infinite.

I have observed with great interest the numbers of persons tapping into this divine resource. Whether with sacred words written on the page, or music that comes from heaven, or relationship ideas that revitalize, I recognize your work, your power, your idea, your creativity. Truly, the divine/human relationship can embolden a life way beyond its own capacities. What can come of this connection is enough to enliven the human soul in ways never known before. I see what you do, how you do it. I see the sacred connecting human dots, making things happen not before possible. I see a golden thread sewn into the fabric of human living and I know that I know that I know that I know you are present and at work.

I see a sparkle in eyes that are experiencing your power of love and grace. I see you working in human hearts and minds that are truly seeking to serve and follow you. I am witnessing the amazement of divine power to make certain things happen that make yet other things happen. Each dot in a long line leading to a sacred event, is a dot that you have placed there in a moment in time. And for those willing to participate in the great spiritual adventure, you will bring great delight, courage, hope, meaning and value, joy to overflowing. And even greater is the way one's great pilgrimage of faith can touch and inspire others to move closer to the Divine.

You renew my relationship with you and my relationship with you renews someone else and so on and so on. I can hardly conceive it all.

Rich and glorious God,
I sit at your feet
glorying
in the beauty
of your grace.
How you enter
the human soul
bringing with you
love and joy,
courage and strength,
hope and peace
encourages my love
for you
to grow.
I know
that the realm
of deep spirit
is the place
I want always
to live with you.

Love, Andrea
