Each one of us is a spark of God.

Each
one of us
is a spark of God.
We were created by Him.
As such, He has love for each soul in
creation. He is eager for us to turn our face
towards Him. He is waiting patiently for us to set
our footsteps towards His abode. Right now, we are
engrossed in the world of the senses. We hardly give God
even a thought unless we are in trouble. He leaves us to
our own
devices. He does not force himself on us. But He does
whisper to us in
a gentle voice in the hope that we will one day return to His
waiting arms.
Throughout our life we have had moments in which we felt we
were coming
closer to God. These are peak moments in which we feel a
connection with Him.
Some of us shed tears as we remember this love that seems so
familiar, like a lost memory of our past. Sometimes we hear a beautiful
piece of music that stirs our heart-strings. We may read an inspiring
verse or passage from the scriptures that sharpens our intensity of our longing
to know God. Sometimes we hear of a noble act that stirs some higher
feeling within our breast. We may meet a person who is devoted to God and
we are inspired to be like him or her. These are His gentle reminders to
us of His presence. Each time we hear His call we have an opportunity to
return to Him. Some of us pass these chances by and go back into
the ever-revolving merry-go-round of the
world. Others are moved to seek out the Source of these
gentle
whisperings. It is these people who awaken to the fact
that
we have a higher nature. These are the
people who begin to ask God
for assistance
in finding
Him.
