God’s love

We seem so certain at times that we alone must find the solution to a nagging, troubling situation. As we obsessively focus our attention on the problem, we feel even greater frustration when the solution eludes us.

Most of us have heard that we keep a problem a problem by giving our attention to it—by the power we give it. What we generally forget is that placing our focus on God instead, while believing in God’s love for us and

God’s concern for our plight, will reveal the solution quite quickly.

God’s love is constant. God’s willingness to care for us, always, is there to be discovered. Our challenges offer us opportunities to remember God’s presence. All challenges, though painful on occasion, are really our invitations to walk a stronger spiritual path.

God’s love accompanies me everywhere today. I won’t stumble if I remember this.
