"God Tweets"

What do you think God would say if God could tweet?

What would He post on your facebook wall?

Why would He call you???

Would He call you to tell you that you're doing a great job living your life right now?
Would He call you to tell you to step it up?
Would He call you to tell you you're going to heaven or hell?
Would He call you to ask you to do more of His work?
Tell you of His plans for your life?
Condemn you for the choices you've made?
Invite you into a relationship with Him?


Take a moment to pause and reflect:
What do you think God would say if He called you right now?







I know for certain what God would say to you.

(And I don't even know you.)

God would say,
"I love you, [insert your name]."

And God would absolutely mean it.


What would God tweet?
God would tweet that He loves you unconditionally.
That you were created by Him and built for a relationship with Him.
That no matter what you do with your free will, He will be there for you.
Whenever you ask.
The Bible is the greatest love story ever told.

In the first chapter of Genesis, when God created the first people, it says that we were created
"in the image of God."

The term in Hebrew is B'tzelem Elohim.
(And has a very specific meaning.)
You see, back then, rulers were said to be a representation of the gods that their culture worshiped. So if they were a culture who worshiped Baal, then the leader of that village would be considered to be the human tzelem of Baal. So we, then, were ALL created in the image of God, so that means we ALL are the representation of God on this earth, or have the divine spark.
[Thank you Rob Bell for your insight there. Check out his works.]

As I like to think of it (and so do many Hebrew scholars according to Rabbi Jana), our being created B'tzelem Elohim has a three-fold meaning:
1) I was created in the image of God, therefore I have infinite value.
2) You were also created in the image of God, therefore you have infinite value.
3) As a valuable creation with the "divine spark," I should try every day to live in according to the image of God.


So what would God tweet?
Well, God doesn't tweet.
But you do.

So, as you are created in the image of God,
you have the power to tweet for God.

So...

What are you going to tweet today?
