The Dealership We all know the shock of being rear ended by unexpected trials in life, but there is hope! On May 27, 2026, very recently, I was rear ended hard! All kinds of emotions surfaced. I was concerned about the pain I was experiencing, but the emergency room said I had no broken bones, just very sore muscles. Thank God! I had a 2015 vehicle with low mileage that ran great, so I wasn't motivated to seek out another car. Then my car was totaled, therefore I had to go find another one. I found one at the dealership with updated safety features and technology. This prompted me to think of God as the Dealership, as well as being the Creator and Owner. Here people depend on the salesperson and the mechanic to help move about in life. God contains all we need, that is, what people seek can be found in this "dealership". We all want to find something to take us from point A to point Z. From birth un...
Let us be cake!
I've thought that as God is a part of us and we are a part of God, we are like a spark in God's flame, like a note in God's music, a stroke of paint in God's canvas and a step in God's dance. Our being is surrounded and engraved by the Divine Energy. We are the internal organs in God's body. This is how close and united the Spirit is to us.
We are not God and never will be. But we are meant to be like, in, and with God. We are to emulate the Source of love. We are together, united, but separate at the same time.
God is the cake, and we are some of the ingredients. We may blend into the batter, yet we retain our individuality. Each soul is unique. Sugar is still sugar in the batter, simply in a different form, and it does what the other ingredients cannot do, sweeten the cake. Each ingredient brings to the cake its own individual property. Sugar is not the cake, but a part of the cake.
Though we are not God, we blend our own uniqueness when we achieve union with the Divine Creator. A couple are one while sharing love, but they are still two distinct persons. We are our unique selves in our relationship with this Creator.
We are united, yet separate. Just like solar systems, stars and galaxies are within the universe, that is, one cosmos containing many parts, we are one in the vastness of the Divine.
I pondered on this after reading Ephesians 4:16. "...the whole body joined and held together by every supporting ligament, with the proper functioning of each part, it brings about the body's growth and builds itself up in love."
Contemplating on scripture helps me reflect on the mystery that is God, a source of inspiration!

ReplyDeleteLet us be Cake is wonderful! It is such an enlightening analogy and you had a unique and perfect way of presenting it. What a “sweet” way to bring our spiritual life into some of our routine tasks and to really see how God lives in us but we remain “Cynthia” and “Sheila”, God centered and rich in His love.
