Our limbic systems write out for us stories of fear, mistrust, shame and blame that leave us disconnected and self-deceived. God meets us in the dark, deep, chaotic places in our minds and loves us. His love offers us a choice: stay in the chaotic dark or allow God’s love to begin transforming us into His Light. You and I are made free, free to stay in the dark or allow God to use the time He created on Day 1 of creation to move us toward light. The more we trust Him with our time, the stronger the prefrontal cortex grows. This part of our minds grows compassion, trust building, truth, connectedness, patience, forgiveness and empathy. All these grow more light from God’s love in our minds. Rejoice with me that God takes whatever time we give Him in trust and grows light to battle and defeat the darkness in us.
