When something or someone brings disappointment, it may appear out of nowhere without much or little warning. When our hopes and expectations evaporate it can feel terrible, downright discouraging. 

However, please believe me when I say this — we have an undaunted energy, call it a saving grace within, an affirmative voice inside you and I. Most of the time, grief even upset of any kind naturally brings us to reach inside for comfort or strength.

Furthermore, in times of dismay we are more open to hear an uplifting utterance from our inner nature. We may continue to be in disarray; yet we instinctively are willing to let the something which is untouched by human conditions, events and disposition uplift us. 

It is like the phone ringing at a time when we need to hear our sunny friend say “Hi, just called to tell you I had this urge to come over or chat with you now.” You are so grateful for the intervention and disruption from the gloomy mood and memory of the sorrow. The friend brings an opportunity for an improved state and outlook. 

Indeed, these moments happen to us. When they do it is the appointed time to say ‘Thank You’ to the power of Divine Love Omnipresent. 

In addition, these intervening happenings fill us with a transformative love that can nevertheless feel out of our reach covered over by sad news or presumptions. It is still present and comes through to minister to us in our low times, in those moments when we are more receptive to the divine appointment knocking at our heart and shining through the dark clouds.  

Disappointments and discouraging times do not last. We remind ourselves of that. The true and lasting quality of our humanity is the Spirit within us. Also called the Holy Spirit, movement of God in us and as the whole and lasting essence of who we are.

Would you join me in welcoming the overcoming power in each one of us. In you and in me. In every one we know, love and don’t know. There is a saving grace in the inner most part of us, pure and untouched by frailties and mortal occurrences.  

No circumstance, mischance, dejection, blemish or mistake in our lives can disrupt the savior, the light of God from coming through us and being available for us. Only we as individuals can choose to ignore or reject the renewing ability, the restorative quality inherent. However, ‘in a twinkling of an eye’ we can re-choose and with open arms and an open mind welcome the seeming angelic and Christ-like power to bless through us and come streaming to us.

We are enormously grateful for an omniscient power and personal God presence in us and mightily active in every facet and nuance of our lives and very existence, right where we are ever-present, Amen
