“God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all.”
John 1:5
________________________________
Inside you, hope and love are alive.
Maybe you don’t feel them right now . . .
Hope and love can become hidden
by grief, shame, anger or resentment.
But this love and hope you were born with exists.
It is inside you wanting to surface.
To get a feel for your hope and love –
and begin to make it grow, do this:
Close your eyes. Find where this love lives in you.
Is it in your heart, your chest, your hands, your chest, your eyes, or ears?
It may live in all of these places.
What does it look like? What shape is it? What color is it?
How does it feel to touch it? Now step completely into this love.
Moment by moment begin to feel at home in this environment.
Become completely comfortable here – inside you,
where hope and love live.
Now imagine sending some of this love to someone. Anyone . . .
Perhaps someone who is having a hard time,
someone you just know, or who you love.
Imagine an actual portion of this hope and love
inside you leaving your body,
projected in a straight line to this person.
Imagine that person being suddenly feeling delighted – and loved.
Do you notice that sending out a portion of your hope and love
only makes the hope and love inside of you grow, become richer
and more active? More available for you – and others?
Feel this now – as the love and hope
you were born with grows,
and becomes more and more available
to you – and the world.

Consider this when you feel broken.”

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what he is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up the towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
