Eternal Renewing

 

Treatment by Tim Phares, RScP

Well, spring seems to be making an arrival, however haltingly.  It’s still chilly, but it is noticeably different from a month ago.  The bush in my front yard is in full bloom.  The baseball season is underway (in fact, I stepped away from a game to write this.)   We have just passed the Easter season.

 
We are reminded that life is eternally renewing.  New things are happening all the time.  At my work, they have totally changed the layout of the place and it’s taking the employees some time to get used to it.  But things move.  There is eternally movement.  Yet the core of life is God, and God is eternally unchanging.
 
How do we live with this dichotomy?  We think of a circle.  It is flowing on the perimeter, around a still and anchored center.  Let us be aware of that center even as we note the renewal that goes on all around.
 
There is only One Life.  That Life is God’s Life, that Life is perfect, and that Life is my life right now.
 
All that that Life is is what I am.  It is in, as, through, and all around me.  Therefore, it is me.  
As God is anchored and still, so am I.  As God is ever moving, so am I.  As my world renews and evolves, I work with it and express the greatest that there is for me, deeper, higher, greater.  That Which Is is doing it as me.  “Of myself I do nothing; it is the Father within who doeth the work.”
 
I am thankful for the awareness of renewal, the potential that renewal shows me, and the fullness and beauty of its expression.
 
And so I simply let it be, knowing that its fullness is now achieved.
 
And SO it IS!
