Between You and God Talk 4 Podcasting

God is often referred to as the Light. In John 8:12, Jesus spoke to the people and said, "I am the Light of the world." Then in Chapter 12:46, He continues, "I am the light that has come into the world so that everyone who believes in me will not live in darkness." I often associate rays of sunlight with God's radiance shining upon us. Without God there would be only darkness. Imagine a mirror and it's ability to reflect light.

Every situation that enters our lives does so with the knowledge of the Divine. In each, we are assigned the role of either teacher or student, and at times both.

Life is filled with clichés that people adopt as truths without giving them careful consideration for their validity. One common belief is that life is short and therefore should be lived to the fullest.

I stood in line behind four young adults, all of whom had varying degrees of disabilities. With the assistance of their caregivers, each carefully chose items for purchase and were being instructed to place them on the conveyor belt in preparation of payment. The cashier, a tall well groomed young man no more than nineteen years of age, smiled patiently as each customer placed and paid for their items. His eyes revealed that for him it was truly an honor and joy to be assisting his customers.

How often do you pray to God: every day, once in awhile, when you need a favor or never? It's been my experience that the majority of prayers are those of petition, that is, they seek a favor from God. Many are well intentioned, seeking assistance for a good cause or healing for one in need. Then there are those frivolous prayers such as wanting to win the lottery, often accompanied with a plea deal: "If I win I promise to donate half to the poor." But most treasured prayer is the TAG Prayer:

Our misguided love for another or sense of purpose can easily sent us into a downward spiral of despair when our plans are suddenly interrupted. Redefining who we are ("I'm no longer this person's spouse: I am now their widow or ex.") can be debilitating and terrifying. One runs the risk of losing their identity and their reason to live. While it may sound like a romantic theme from a Hollywood blockbuster, designing our lives around our relationship to our love interest can backfire.
