Today’s thought looks again at the Eucharist an I have pondered upon the thought throughout the day. I have considered the thought and belief that, through Eucharist, God dwells within us but that also we dwell in God.

No matter how we feel, we are part of God.

As we feast on God we grow and become more like the image of God that God created us to be. We start from that premise of being born saturated in God’s blessing, rather than of original sin, and as we journey we grow successfully more into that person we were originally created to be.

The real challenge here, for me, is that if this is true then it is true for everyone. If God is a God of justice and compassion then we are all blessed from the beginning. We are all created in the image of God. We all have God dwelling within us. God, it seems. dwells within us at the deepest level. It’s almost like God is in our DNA.

Does knowing this have an impact on how we live our lives?
Does remembering that all are created in the image of God have an impact on how we live our lives?
Does being endwelled with God and ourselves dwelling in God change how we live our lives?
