Expansion of Life

The expanding universe is a metaphor for our expanding souls.  From the infinitesmal moment of creation to the infinite expansion of space, we finally arrive at a sense of wonder and awe:  My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

The soul that does not continue to expand with the infinite power of God finally becomes a black hole, collapsing and imploding from within and sucking into the void all that is around it.  If we refuse the continuing creative energy that is God's own life in us, finally there is nothing left for us except the darkness of non-life, non-creativity---the weeping and gnashing of teeth that is hell.
