LIGHT YOUR FIRE

For several weeks I have been trying to verbalize inner divinity through the written word.  It is a difficult concept of what inner divinity is, and most people I have spoken to give me a confused look and confused attempts to to grasp what inner divinity is...and what it means to them...personally.  It is no wonder because we seldom think about such concepts and what it is, and we are even less enlightened by the theologians and teachers in and of the church.

My thoughts are that we are given inner divinity upon conception...with that first spark of life.  It is the seed of the Holy Spirit, planted, awaiting to take root, to be nourished and grow.  How we care for that seed of inner divinity is subject to many inside and outside influences and how we respond to spirit within.  We are one with God and part of God. It doesn't matter what your religion or persuasion is:  You are an intrinsic element of God.  God made you; God made us all.

You can not conceptualize inner divinity on the human level.  You can feel it within you to a certain degree and the great saints and religious leaders can sometimes exhibit it through their personal sanctity, but it is not often mentioned, let alone attempted to explain.  How can you explain God?  You know there is a God, therefore there is an inner divinity and sanctity.  It is.  It just is.  Just as the wind: You can't see or touch the wind, but you know there is wind.

So, this is my short, pitiful effort to convey what can not be put into ordinary words.  It is always up to the person to seek and try to understand that inner spark that glows within.  Light your fire.  I'm working on mine.
