The Power of God Is Our Strength

In the separation from God, fear manifests.  That fear may not be apparent.  We may only notice it in a lack of strength within our actions.  That lack of strength may not be apparent.  We may only notice it through an analysis of the path we are on in life.

When we fear, our enemies appear to grow in strength, in size, and in number.  This is evident when we connect with God.  The connection is apparent; for, when our inner focus shifts toward that which we know through personal experience to be God, the path we are on becomes clear, the previous lack of strength, and perhaps unnoticed fear becomes apparent. Such a revelation may be conveyed through analogy:  God is to sight as darkness is to fear.  When the light is turned on, and we can see clearly what before was hidden, or in shadow, we come to understand what before was incomprehensible.  Through the experience of connection with the divine, or communion with God, we become aware of the previous state of fear and lack brought on by separation.

When we reach out to shake the hand of our enemy while we are connected to God, there is no fear.  In the moment our hands meet, we recognize the fear in the other.  We immediately understand the weakness and frailty of their state.  We must have compassion in that instance; for, through the revelation of our own previously weakened and fearful state, through the revelation of our connection to the divine, through the very apparent power that lives within us as long as we maintain focus, we are now aware of the state of our enemy.  For, if they were connected to that intelligent energy which is most often experienced as unconditional love, that energy we call God, they would cease to be our enemy.

This is my want for the world. Praise be to God.
