As the wind buffets my home this evening, I am reminded that the breath of God is our divine connexion. For some it may not be apparent, but I promise it is true. It is down to each one of us to notice the caressing breeze as we work through our own prospects and perspectives, encouraging warmth and love along the way. But for those who are unable to instantly feel that connexion, do not despair, the hand of God, no matter your age, nationality or creed is always welcoming.

Today has been a mixture of emotions for me ranging from hope and love to exhaustion and despair. I can’t remember a day such as this when all that I thought I believed in and the depth of the work I have done on myself seems to have gone out of the window. My faith had been shaken and it has been disconcertingly unsettling. The pointers have been there but my self indulgence to grief temporarily blinkered me. I feel very strongly that I have been going through a test and I am now at the starting point of a new way of life. I can’t quite determine how that will be but my confidence in God and all He stands for is, thankfully, very much part of me again. I learn from all the errors in the past with trust that whoever may judge me here on earth, God above is judgeless.

The eyes, being the window to the soul, is a beautiful analogy of how we are. To throw away our resolve, to throw caution to the wind, is a foolish and somewhat careless activity, that once done, leaves us exposed, vulnerable and blind to reality. The emptiness and sadness of loosing this link to God is beyond comprehending and I am so pleased that the storm, banging against my window, has finally woken me up.

Make a determined effort to strengthen your link so that God, in all his many guises, doesn’t have to wake you up with a storm battering on your window! God bless.
