Every human personality is something sacred, something special. We don’t have a right, as another person or as a nation, to destroy that spark of divinity, that spark of humanity, that is made and created in the image of God. —John Lewis, Richard Rohr Daily Meditation, September 27, 2025
As I read John Lewis's quote, I realized that we are each interpreted by the other...by the other's sacred inner knowledge...by the other's spark of humanity that was made in the image of the God of their understanding.
I suspect that there are no "exactly alike" folks...identical twins look alike, and their thinking, feeling, doing and being may seem identical, but God sees, knows each of us intimately, exactly...individually.
Now that I am in my 80s, I have come to understand that our lives have ever been heading upward...toward the welcoming of God's will, God's way...and the majority of our rues, regrets and remorses were ever God's steppingstones for our benefit.
Ah, there it is...there's the righteous reason for love and laugh...they are God's steppingstones for our benefit.
End of discussion, thank You, Father.
Thank you.
