Our Stories and the Divine Image

Our stories, yours and mine, are more than quirky happenings; each of us has been in the mind of God and his designs for all eternity. We each have, upon our souls, some aspect of the divine. However, we have, each one of us, besmirched that image from its original beauty. Our Creator, in his infinite love, places in our lives (in a way unique to each one of us) challenges, sufferings, and disappointments. When we acknowledge these events as coming from the loving hand of God, accept and embrace them, we allow God to make of us a new creation. The Divine image in each one of us is made more beautiful by our cooperation with the work of God in our lives.
