Today will be the best day of your life, or the worst day, or somewhere in the middle. We all hope to be closer to the “best” marker rather than the “worst.” But it doesn’t always work out that way.
Today will be a lousy, forgettable day if you get up this morning still nursing the anger you felt when you went to bed, or if you carry over the pain of the disappointment you felt yesterday, of if the first emotion you feel today is fear about something you can’t control.
Today will turn out to be a good day if, in the midst of yesterday’s “left-overs”, you allow yourself to love and/or to be loved. Jesus once asked a sick man: Do you want to get well? Same question: Do you want this day to be better than yesterday? It can be if you have the courage to love someone or something in spite of your bruises or backache. Trust me. Sometimes it takes courage and determination to love or to accept love, but when you allow love, it becomes more than a remedy. It becomes the new reality, a revealing.
Don’t wish away a perfectly good day. Make it different. Love is life’s lubricant. It fixes squeaky things like you and me. May it be so.
