Divinity of God in Me

Psalm 139 tells me I was knit together in my mother’s womb. I always envisioned this to be the weaving of my DNA strands together to create my physical being, like braiding hair. God would weave them in and out of one another to create something that He would then fasten off when I was complete.

But what if God 'knitting me together' was less like putting together a piece of IKEA furniture and more like interweaving  my soul with His?

What if knitting me together in my mother's womb was more of an infusion of His divinity with my budding humanity?

​And what if this weaving of His divinity with my humanity is my soul's connection to Him? 

What if this was his way of infusing me with His image? 

Maybe that's what God did within Mary's womb. Philippians tells us Jesus was in nature God. His very nature. But what makes Jesus different from me is that he knew this; he knew that he shared this nature with God, that God’s own divinity was interwoven with his humanity in Mary’s womb.

So when Jesus said “I and my father are one,” he meant that quite literally. In soul and spirit they share being; they are in essence the same Being. They share existence. And Jesus said that in the same way, I am one with him; he knows that my soul is also connected to God in this way, just like his is. 

What if every human being, created in His image, is woven together not by God but with God, infused with His being - with the very soul and breath of God part of our DNA?
