Dearest God,

I am watching with great interest the unfurling of truth. Sometimes it is so deep that it takes an earthquake to open the ground allowing it to spurt out. Finally, the truth is coming.

I understand more and more how we cover up the truth about ourselves because we are afraid to face our own fears. As I observe the uncovering in someone else, my own soul delights because I truly do believe that the truth sets us free.

Why do we wait so long to live in our own truth? Why are we so afraid? Why do we give in to our fears, robbing ourselves of inner joy, peace and happiness?

I am certain, dear God, that an utter trust in you will lead us to live in truth every day. We will not fear because our trust is not in what someone else will think but rather in what you think of us. You have made us with your own love. You have placed within us the ability to live the life you have entrusted us with. You know our weaknesses; perhaps you have made us with weakness so that we may enjoy the journey toward strength. Although courage may be underdeveloped, it still has the opportunity to grow and mature leading us to do great things not only for ourselves but for those around us and even for the world.

Thank you,
Loving God,
for tools
that help us
open ourselves
to truth.
Thank you
for those
whose gifts
teach us
to dig deep
for the truth
that frees us.
Thank you
for hope
that keeps
us alive
until we
are ready
to forge ahead.
Thank you,
God,
for your spirit
that enables us
to move
from where
we are
to where
we can be
by your
great power.

Love, Andrea
