My intention today is to be accepting of myself.

Day 12 of Diving Deeply:  I cannot flee.

Where ever you go, there you are.

This is so true.  You can run or walk away from a situation or circumstance but your thoughts, feelings and decisions are with you.

More importantly, so is God.

       The “Me, Myself and I”

                  become

                          “Me, Myself and God”

No matter where you need to go or move away from, God is there with you.

I ran at one point in my life.  Not an easy thing to do. I ran away and then realized that God was still with me, turned around and ran back.  An exciting journey, but again not easy.  With God as my partner and guide I was able to see my life more clearly.  I made some good choices and others not so good.  I’ve learned.  I’ve grown.  I’m continuing to move forward but no longer running.

Do you feel God’s presence with you now?

Some only feel this when they have mountain top or low valley experiences.  The truth is that the unchanging and ever-lasting God is there.

• God celebrates with you.
• God cries with you

When there is no one to hold you, you can feel the comforting arms of God around you.

Today as I focus on self-acceptance I am reminded that within that acceptance is God.

What a gift!

May you find that gift in your life, today and always.
