We are never perfect at this and constantly have to remind ourselves of this and be reminded of it - repent and be forgiven. The struggle implied in God s bringing about creation from the void can be seen in every type of work. For instance, if we do not paint the house, it will rot. If we do not tend the website it will have links that do not work and pages will be missing. We understand that we have the life-giving spirit in that we know that physical death exists.
Spirituality is the using of that spirit to enliven others.
We know that interaction with others can be life giving or life taking. Some people we interact with kill us emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Some people enhance our lives and add a quality to them we cannot get any other way. Naming is a wonderful metaphor for work. Naming shapes the creation like Adam naming the animals.
