Think of God as a presence rather than a person.
A presence that allows a seed to sprout,
that moves the stars
across the sky, and simultaneously moves
a thought across your mind.
A presence that grows the grass and
grows your fingernails all at the same time.
You are eternally connected to this presence,
your Source,
the power of love that never abandons you
and never runs dry.
You can rely on this Source if you remind yourself
that it includes you at all times.
It is always safe to let go and let God.
Just the ability to be content—to be in a state of bliss,
to enjoy life—
is all any of us want, really.
You can’t accumulate anything,
because anything you get you have to give away.
We all know this.
We watch our bodies go through the aging process.
We know we came in here with nothing,
and we know we’re going to leave with nothing.
There’s nothing to own. There’s nothing to get.
We need to know that we are God.
We mostly do not recognize that.
We’ve lost the sense of our own divinity.
We think that we’re separate from God,
but we can’t be.
We must be like what we came from,
and we came from an infinite, loving, kind, beautiful Source.
We’ve forgotten that.
So, you have to recognize that God isn’t something outside of you—
a cosmic bellboy to whom you pray in order to get this
or that if you do the right things.
Those kinds of understandings are all ego talk.
Everybody—you, me, Osama bin Laden, Adolf Hitler—
we all came from the same Source.
Then we took on these egos and began to practice
all kinds of things based in not having reverence for life,
whereas that which is God has reverence for all life.
All excuses are nothing more than misalignments with God.
Just imagine the great creative Source needing an excuse.
It doesn’t have any concept of, “I’m too busy.
I’m too old. I’m too afraid.
Things are going to take too long.”
Source doesn’t work like that.
-Wayne Dyer
