Pieces of God

July 24 2006

I think that everyone has a little piece of God in them; everyone has some aspect of His character that they are meant to present to you in your life.



 


Some people are joy. When they enter the room you can’t help but to return their smiles.



 


Some people are peace. With their arms around you the world disappears and everything is at rest.



 


Some people are strength. They will lend you a shoulder or carry you for as long as you need.



 


Some people are love. There is nothing that you can do to make them stop loving you.



 


Everyone is different, but I think that sometimes you will find that their gifts are the same . . . and we often surround ourselves with those who emanate the qualities that we have the greatest need for.



 


We’re all hopelessly interconnected.



 


So while I am gone this week I want you to look for the pieces of God in the people around you. Who is wisdom? Forgiveness? Love?



 


Who am I?



 


Who are you?

Drat. Those last two lines were going to be my comment. Hrmph. But now that I actally have to think about it... I think you're joy. I always want to smile around you, even if I'm having, like, the worst day eeeever. And I don't really know what I am, but people always come to me with their problems. So perhaps I'm strength?

hmmm...I'd have to say that I love this post...in my opinion...I'd have to call you...understanding. That's one of my favorite characteristics about God. Let's hang out please? without lady of the water....leave her at home.

You tell me who I am... I'm not really sure what affect I have on other people. I have to agree with Grace that you're probably joy.

Ditto Amy//Joy. [[Not a very exciting comment, eh?]] Yeah, you're definitely laughter. Whether you're being laughed AT or WITH is up for discussion. ;P
