If you were raised in a Christian family you would have heard this over and over again at Sunday School, in sermons, reading the bible but what does this REALLY mean?
Well, the other day, it hit me like a ton of bricks! Reflecting on the rancour and vitriol being spewed out of people in the age of the Obama Presidency and Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump candidacy for President of the United States Of America, I have never seen such nastiness in my lifetime. People have become bold with their bigotry and nastiness - I say bigotry because this is a catch all for the various types of discrimination - since John McCain picked Sarah Palin for VP on his presidential ticked and the rise of the "TEA PARTY" in the United States.
If you want to see nastiness, check the comments on some posts on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms. When I come across a good article, be it social or political, I like to browse through the comments. Dear Lord, the better the article, the more hateful the comments. It was after such an encounter that I spoke these words out loud, even though I was by myself "the day everybody wake up to the knowledge that we all the same will be something else".
A few days later I am minding my own business when I felt like I was having an "out of body" experience. All of a sudden, I could see and understand what it means to be created in God's image. Just imagine for a second, every individual currently alive or who have ever lived is unique in their own way. How could this be? Because every last one of us - regardless of size, shape, colour or hue, behaviour, social class or orientation represent God in us. One day we will ALL GET IT, and what a day of rejoicing that will be! That day when we know that all the hate and fuss and cruelty and war and pettiness were all a folly!
I now under understand the salute "Namaste" - the divine in me salute the divine in you!
