Just had to share this thought with you. While reading scripture this morning in Colossians, I read Paul who said, "by looking at God's Son we see the God we cannot see. And by looking at the Son we see God's original purpose in everything created." It goes on to say, "everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together." Later, "supreme in the beginning"--"from beginning to end He is there."
Well, that got the old brain thinking. What do you think? Is it not possisble that whatever is created--me, you, the entire world and all of its peoples--got started in Him!
Does this mean that everything created has Him within it, being part and parcel of Christ Jesus? Could it be that the God-piece of each of us is there from our beginning and is only unseen because of our ignorance of God and lack of awareness, lack of knowledge of God? Does it mean that without development and nurturing, God in us does not develop?
Put a seed in the ground, having the promise of a corn stalk and ripe corn on the cob, but do not water it, what will you get? Not a darn thing! Nothing! Nothing but a dried up plant, hardly a stalk at all. (I had Jerry's help in the analogy!)
Nurture our babies by feeding their hunger for God, their maker, and the child will grow up to be One with Him. Nurture our own selves to feed the hunger for God--(Yes, that's what that feeling of not belonging is!) and we will discover all that God has in store for us.
I know, personally, give me a little of God and I want more and more of Him. In fact, sometimes I feel as if I cannot get enough! Don't misunderstand, it isn't more of me that I want, its more of Him I want in me.
God, Blessed be your Holy Name! Amen.
