Creative Spirit

As soon as God created Day and Night, the host of angels came to God and asked,"O Lord there is division among us. Which of the two, Day or Night is better?" God chose not to reply. The day He separated the Heaven from the Earth the angels came and asked," Which is better, heaven or the earth?"Again God remained silent. He went on creating and after he had created man the angels in so many groups asked," We are going to pieces with contrary opinions. Tell us God, Are we not better than the man you created?"
God fell silent. Archangel prodded," O Lord of hosts! If man were better you would have set him here in heavenly places. Now we see your face all the time and we are definitely superior."
Instead of replying God breathed in to Adam and asked" Which is better- I being among you or my spirit in him? Answer me and I shall answer those questions you asked me earlier."

Life Prepares Us

“So God created man in his own image.’(Gen 1:27)
God breathed into Adam and made him a living soul.
It is plain that we cannot claim our image resembles Him in a physical sense since no man has seen Him. Soul serves as a mirror but it doesn’t fully explain. Soul is a catalyst for the body with all its infirmities to grow unto perfection even as it is. As St. Peter writes we are called ‘to be partakers of the divine nature.’(2Pe1:4). Our carnal body shall stumble and let us down more times than we care to count them but soul’s hold on us is relentless and it never tires itself from its office.
Perfection can only come through our experience, or knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ. Since we do not have a physical model as such the Word helps us to some extent. Our life on the Earth must largely prepare us while living among so many. Life on this vale of tears is but a preparatory school.
