Loving Us in All our Messy Goodness
by Rev. Kamatara Johnson, Director of Collaborative Ministries
Knowing there is only One Loving Source and that this lifetime is an expression of that, I know that I am…each person is…the outpicturing of the Divine. We are the place where this Love shows up. There is something sacred going on here in this cosmic school where my curriculum is to remember who and what I am, to be still and know the I AM, to see as God sees, and to know the Infinite part of myself and of you…
So I claim with a clear and loud voice: I know who and what I am. I listen to the still, small voice within, I see me for what I am. I value all my life experiences that comes together in this moment as the person that is me. I also know who and what you are. I see you, I hear you, I value your lived experience and the journey you are on. I appreciate sharing the journey in times of adversity, in times of celebration, and everything in between. I appreciate the balance of living in the paradox: I am human and I am divine…sliding around inside this Truth and loving us in all our messy goodness.
I am so grateful to remember my truth, to realign with the Divine Presence that is between us, in us, through us, as us right here and now. I appreciate being able to learn and grow, deepen and expand into a more life-affirming perspective, loving all people regardless of the human situation. I give thanks for the capacity to consciously evolve and open up my mind, my heart, and my experience to more and more Love.
With deep confidence that Spirit is always moving, creating, expressing, I release this prayer into its fullest expression in my life, in your life, in our experience of each other in all our messy goodness, knowing we are Divinely guided and truly blessed. And so it is.
