It is difficult to
imagine that we could be so loved. And yet in God’s eyes we have always
been perfect. As a mother loves her child even before conception,
merely in desiring her child, we too are perfectly loved. This force,
which I now call God, unites an ovum and sperm, and as the embryo grows,
divides its cells in such absolute perfection that a finger appears on
the hand and two eyes on the face. How is it possible that each cell
knows what its shape and placement should be? This is not a miracle;
it’s a natural phenomenon.
As we evolve, with
our needs and technologies, facing our humanity with its various
challenges, its gains and losses, we begin to walk alone, using only our
human strength to confront and solve problems. What has become of the
connection to that miraculous force that first divided our cells? For
each, our task is to re-member: to reestablish and reclaim that which
is already true. We are loved, and we have always been loved. It is
not a question of merit or accomplishment. The Divine Love is here. We
need only unclench our fists and open to It.
