"For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you." (17:21). I love this concept. The word "among" could also be "within" which is even better. I have always had this theory that God is energy. God isn't a he or she or above us in some mansion in the sky. God is all around us and we are made up of God. Its like when you get chills down your spine because you hear a beautiful song, that's the God in you. What if, when we die, we don't "go" anywhere. Instead, our energy returns to this world. If, during our life, we've made the world a better place, thats heaven. If we've been destructive, then we return to an unhappy place.
When David asks us where is God, we tell him all around us. In the trees, in the sky, in the wind, in his heart. Of course, he doesn't really get it (I don't think) but its comforting and its the best answer we can give.

God is within us...we call it the Holy Spirit.
ReplyDeleteWell yes, I suppose. But I feel that its more than that. The Holy Spirit is what moves this energy. I like thinking about "I am that I am" and thinking that God was being literal. God is everything.
