Dear God,

I have heard people say that my spirituality is different from others, that mine is deeper than most. I have to confess that that troubles me. I realize I can only see through my own lens and I know that my reality is my reality. However, how can it be that people think this way?

I am not god. I don't try to play god. I don't think I try to make others think I am god. Yet, I still get these comments about what I have done to change the spiritual lives of others. One thing about which I am very clear. I do not change people. I do not possess such powers. I am simply a door opener. I stand at the opening to God's presence and I invite people in.

I have a thirst for you. Doesn't nearly everyone? And if this is true, then don't we all have the same capability of meeting you? The same capacity of infilling?

I love being a door opener. In fact I remember a scripture and a song (in my own words) that goes something like this: I'd rather be a door opener in the presence of the Lord than a thousand other things. It is so true. This is my most favorite role. A door opener for God.

I want
to open doors
for you,
O Lord.
Why would
I want
to do
anything else?

Loving you, Andrea
