Your Soul Makes God Bigger
See how your spirits will rejoice and what you can co-create together with God.
Luke 1:46-47
And Mary said, “My soul magnifies God, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior."
Your soul makes God bigger—your essence shows others who God is, makes God more present in their lives, and makes God real. Do you know people like that, people who embody God? Are you people like that?
People whose love and care extend beyond your expectations, humbling you because you’re not sure you would have thought to do the same for them. People who speak up for what is right, just, gracious, and peaceable when the world seems hell-bent on doing what is wrong, unjust, punitive, and violent?
In our society, it seems we are losing what it means to be a follower of Christ. It feels that people who embody God are few and far between, but they are here.
They write for the Daily Ripple. They are neighbors, friends, co-workers, and even churchgoers; strangers and immigrants; trans people, polyamorous families, and those demanding bodily autonomy. They speak out against an apathetic, profiteering, genocidal health insurance industry. They continue to say “Black Lives Matter” and “Me Too.” They are constituents seeking clemency for those on death row and veterans steering us away from war…
Find a way today to show people who God really is. Then spend time seeking out those whose soul makes God bigger and see how your spirits will rejoice and what you can cocreate together with God.
