I had just walked into an upscale hotel lobby for a meeting. I double-checked to see if I was ready. Everything was set, except for my hands. I could feel the residue of what I had just handled outside lingering. If I was going to be ready, I needed to find somewhere to wash my hands. As I found a men’s room, I rediscovered my total trust in the cleansing, purifying, and restorative powers of good handwashing. I found out later that my soaps were first class. The fresh towels were as pure as anything I could use. The package was complete, I was ready.
As I think of the day ahead, I am double-checking to see if I am ready. My checklist covers the spectrum, inside to out, response to intent. Trust is an essential element that crosses every point.
I trust love. I believe in its power. I am confident in the role it has within my heart and soul. When I think of Divinity, my belief is in the unconditional, unending, and everlasting love that She represents. I take comfort with how “Scripture reassures us, ‘No one who trusts God like this – heart and soul – will ever regret it.’” (Romans 10.11)
I trust in my power to be a vehicle through which love is seen and experienced. My actions reveal love at the best of times. In striving to make every moment the best it can be, love and its children, kindness, and care, will always be at my side. Even in the dark nights of our souls, they can be found. In every moment there is an opportunity to gift others as well as oneself with unconditional acceptance and belief (hope).
I trust in my ability to step towards being a better person. In my humanness, my flaws remind me I am loved unconditionally even though She cannot leave me that way. She restores my soul. She recreates and rebuilds. With Divinity’s guidance, I continue to see the great architect’s designs that define who I am and can be.
