Once upon a time, when God
had finished making the world, he wanted to leave behind a piece of His
own divinity, a spark of His essence, a promise to man of what he could
become, with effort. He looked for a place to hide this precious gift
and He explained why?Because what a man could find too easily would
never be valued by him.
"Then you must hide this gift on the highest mountain peak on earth," said one of His counselors.
God
shook His head, "No, for man is an adventuresome creature and he will
soon enough learn to climb the highest mountain peaks."
"Hide it then, My Lord, in the depths of the earth."
"I think not," said God. "for man will one day discover that he can dig into the deepest parts of the earth."
"In the middle of the ocean then, God?"
God shook His head. "I've given man a brain, you see, and one day he'll learn to build ships and cross the mightiest oceans."
"Where then, My Lord?" cried His counselors.
God
smiled, "I'll hide it where every man and woman will be able to find
it if they look sincerely and deeply enough. I'll hide it in their
heart, because that's the place where LOVE resides..."
