If you don’t see God in the words you speak and the thoughts you hold, then you are missing a big piece of the puzzle of life. I don’t claim to have all the parts to this puzzle, but I know that every day I rise is a new day with endless possibilities, and each day is a gift from God.

We might go to church to be closer to God and to feel his presence, but when the church bells become silent, does he stay seated on his imaginary throne in a land far far away, or does he walk with you? Does God exist in the words you speak and the actions you take?

The beautiful part of this question is you don’t have to decide. You only need to accept that the spirit of God exists within you, and also around you. You may not be able to turn water into wine, but I believe you can change the self-destructive talk and distorted self-image that doesn’t serve you.

The only question that remains is which words you will choose to speak and think when you find yourself behind closed doors. Through the gift of choice and the resurrection of a new day, you can reconstruct your words to build a better picture. I believe your connection to God is closer than you think because you are not separate from God; you are one.
