This is so beautiful to me. I don’t take this to mean that we are literally Gods ourselves in a self-glorifying manner, but that we are all part of God in a humble, yet empowering way. We are God's creation, so how are we not part of Him? There are numerous quotes in the bible about us not being apart from God and Jesus saying that we will do greater works than He does. So, shouldn't we believe Him and rise up to our full potential?
If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us His spirit. - John 4:12-13
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken. -John 10:34-35
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. - 1 John 4:4
The Grandeur of God Verses Grandiosity:
"Grandeur is of God, and only of Him. Therefore it is in you. Whenever you become aware of it, however dimly, you abandon the ego automatically, because in the presence of the grandeur of God the meaninglessness of the ego becomes perfectly apparent. When this occurs, even though it does not understand it, the ego believes that its "enemy" has struck, and attempts to offer gifts to induce you to return to its "protection." Self-inflation is the only offering it can make. The grandiosity of the ego is its alternative to the grandeur of God. Which will you choose?" - A Course In Miracles
