In every human being. A mark of the Divine One. Something sacred, holy, precious, glorious, and godly. We humans are heaven-earthly creatures, although we don’t often see it—neither in others, nor in our own selves.
Surprisingly to some, in the Bible human beings are referred to as gods—little “g” expressions of something other-worldly, something more-than-earthly. Even Jesus affirmed this perspective.
“You are gods” is a way of expressing, within the futile limitations of language, “You are more than you think you are. More than others think you are. Worthy of honor, dignity, respect, and love.”
Long before we ever point out faults or sins, we must learn to notice, name, and honor the divine in ourselves and others. This is a matter of first attention. Can we see it? There is more god-ishness present than we might first assume.
