Let Go

Is your yearning to satisfy your ego’s wants or your true self’s needs?

Psalm 37:4

Find your delight in the LORD who will give you your heart’s desire.

How comforting is today’s verse!

So hopeful.

It resonates deep within me.

How I yearn for…what?

I’ve yearned for many things…but if and when those things are manifested in my life…they’ve never completely satisfied the yearning.

Well…maybe briefly. But the yearning returns. Take comfort in knowing that this yearning is built-in-the-fabric of all that is:

“We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now” (Romans 8:22).

St. Paul wrote about it. We…and all creation…are “groaning in labor pains.” That captures the feeling pretty well.

God is drawing us…enticing us if you will…to God’s self.

It’s a love story. God is the Lover and we are the beloved.

When you let go of your ego’s understanding of what will satisfy that deep yearning…you can simply go-with-the-flow of the Love that is calling you.

This will require a contemplative practice…periods of meditation or centering prayer.

Then…even now…your “heart’s desire” is in the process of being revealed.
