"For in mankind that shall be saved is comprehended all: that is to say, all that is made and the Maker of all. For in man is God, and God is in all. And I hope by the grace of God he that beholdeth it thus shall be truly taught and mightily comforted, if he needeth comfort."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 9)
There is such a oneness and belonging with God and all that He has made - which is all of us! Noone is neglected, everyone is included. Noone is excluded, everyone belongs. God who made us is in each one of us, around each one of us, undergirding us, filling all of creation. And God is in us through Christ''s incarnation, joining God with our mortal flesh. And so all are included in His salvation work because of this wondrous connection between God and us. This gives us great comfort, for we know that God is in all and embraces all. His beautiful and uplifting work of love and grace uplifts all and redeems all. We wake up to find God is in us, loving us, waiting to relate to us in a special friendship just for us. He has been there with us all along, loving us, adoring us, upholding us. He wants us to know this so we'll find ultimate comfort and know we have never been alone or without support or without a friend. He is in us always, looking out on this world with us through our eyes, and looking back at us in the eyes of every person we meet.
"Christ is everything. He is in all of us."
Colossians 3:11 (NLV)
A Prayer: Allow me to see You in everyone I meet today!
