God's Dwelling

One time a friend recalled how overwhelmed he was with how his heart has been producing such talent in him and found wisdom and passion with where he is in his life. He also shared how at some points during his conversations with others, he is able to find himself uttering words that were coming out unexpectedly from his mouth. I simply told him that God made and fashioned us like Himself as we are created in His image an likeness.

The thing is, we may not be aware that like an inventor / artist that made his masterpiece, we are His masterpiece. The artist puts his heart in his creation and so the product reflects so much of its source.

Within us, God planted His heart. Thus, our hearts resemble a lot like God. More than that, it is His dwelling. It has God's mind and heart combined. And so when we think, feel and analyze, it is God Himself doing the same thing in us.

But we may wonder such evil coming out in the hearts of men translated to action. Why is it that a lot of sufferings of the world are also caused by men? This I say that man's freedom is at work in his choices. And so when the heart is not properly schooled (as we all come from different backgrounds) the kind of "program" of God's image and goodness may be contaminated.

But this i found out from my personal experience. Every time I make a wrong choice manifested in my actions, I always get the feel in my inmost being that I violated something. And so I believe, that God always makes a re-call every time we falter. Once upon at time in the past, He placed his "GOODNESS" training module in our hearts. But then we deafen the ears of the heart when we constantly expose ourselves to wrong choices until the heart becomes calloused.

Poor heart (but I can never say poor God). The strength of its capacities fueled by its Source is suppressed. If we ponder on the power of the phrase "created in the image and likeness of God", should be more than enough power to shake the earth. Man like God...isn't it power in itself?

Why seek somewhere else other than GOD?


PS... If we continue to enslave ourselves with wrong choices, ultimately, we insult the one that made it...the REAL ARTIST...GOD HIMSELF...:-)
