I'd like to share a meditation that I received from a friend.

Father, I come to you this day with great joy in my heart, for I want nothing more than to enjoy this connection, this moment, this time alone with You -- to feed my soul, to come back to center, and to present myself as your humble child who wants to feel the shower of your unconditional love.

“Fill me with your light Father, and see me as I am, imperfect, yet wanting to be more than I am, more like you, Father. All my life experiences I share with you. See through my eyes, hear through my ears, speak through my lips, and walk with me through my days in this world, Father. Let your love and your spirit be with me, in me, and through me, and help me to distribute your love and light into this world.

“I desire your divine embrace and wait patiently to receive it. Every in-breath I take, I breathe in your love, and every exhale I make, I send it back. This is the unbroken intimate connection I have with you, and as I breathe, I will always be reminded of this Circle of Love -- the Parent and the child.

“As I breathe and meditate on You, Father, I am aware of your presence, and I feel every cell in my body is in harmony with you through this constant connection we share. I shall now go silent and listen for your gentle voice to teach and guide me. I love you.

“Sit in peace and silence for a moment and receive from the Creator.
