No Ordinary People

With all the busyness, noise, challenges, and confusion in the world, it is easy to lose sight of who we are. Too often we ignore the BIG picture - and the awesome heritage and potential each one of us has. 

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ ... (Romans 8: 16-17)

We are all immortal beings with immense possibilities. Our "ever present challenge is to apply immortal principles to life's constantly changing ... and passing mortal situation." Neal A. Maxwell

“It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship. .  .  . It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal." C. S. Lewis, “The Weight of Glory,” italics in original.

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience." Pierre Teilhard deChardin; Phenomenon of Man (1955)

We are each pretty awesome!
