To me, “God” is “reality,” “the universe as it is,” “what is” prior to my story.
I notice that when I am truly trusting in God, the limits of my life change:
I notice that I don’t have to guard, protect or defend anything. Because God guards, protects and defends everything so that I am free to love with reckless abandon.
I notice that I never need to worry about losing anything because I’ve never had anything. Because everything belongs to God, including me.
I notice that it is not my job to fix anything except my attention to God’s gifts. When I trust in God, I notice that God fixes everything in due course, sometimes using me as an instrument, sometimes not. I can leave fixing things to God’s benevolent hands and just put myself in them.
I notice I have no reason to silence what I am moved to say or to speak when I feel called to silence.
When I trust in God, I notice that I am God-created so there is no reason to attempt to be other than I am, that what I truly am can never be the problem. And when I notice that, I notice that what anyone truly is can never be the problem.
I notice that I have all the time in the world for what’s important. When I trust in God, my schedule is suddenly wide open for anything I feel called to make time for. God will sort out everything I don’t make time for (as well as everything I do make time for).
I notice whose opinion matters and whose doesn’t.
I notice I have no enemies. When I trust in God, I notice that I am walking through Eden where everyone is my friend and teacher, that everything is a gift - offered to wake me up to my own mind and call my attention to the truth of oneness in all things through God’s eternal benevolence.
I notice that I don’t need to worry about anything that happened or will happen. I notice that past and future do not exist anywhere but in my mind right now. So my ability to project a past and future are tools gifted to me by God for my well-being in the present.
