PUT GOD IN THE PICTURE

We are created by God, as unique beings. My taste, and even my set of values, can be so, so different to another person.

I might believe in cleanliness being next to Godliness; another person might have no problem with the opposite. They could be absorbed in their interest in people.

One person is guided by their heart ( a very good way to be ) while another person is more of a practical nature. They see the dirty curtains. The 'heart' person sees the ray of sunshine shining through.

We are programmed with the nature we have, yet if we had a choice, then to be a 'heart' person takes highest place.

When we look at the life of Christ, we see His enormous love for people. He expanded his heart to embrace the whole world.

In our home, years ago, my mother had a picture of the Sacred Heart with rays of light coming from his loving heart/ rays of divine grace.

To put God into the picture means that we imitate His love / His compassion, and open our hearts to all, without prejudice or fear of the cost.

By loving, God is present in us.
