October 27, 2019: I Am God – Bekah Stewart

Christian Mystic Marguerite Porete wrote, “’I am God,’ says Love, for Love is God and God is Love, and this Soul is God by the condition of Love.” What a densely packed statement. It’s possible she points toward the suggestion that is here in these verses. That is that God’s love is in us. If that’s the case, then we are love too.

Which means we can actually be for our world a sign, a symbol and the actually presence of God. How? By loving each other. Jesus said the same, “By this all people will know you’re my disciples … love one another.” What if this is the greatest thing we can do? What if this is all we gave ourselves toward, remembering loving God and others are the most important commands? Is it possible our world might experience God’s presence, and know God more.
