The Image of God in others

For a long while I loved the idea that there is a part of God's spirit within each of us, along with the idea that everyone is made in the image of God. This really helped me today when I was thinking about my struggle to find purpose in my placement. I thought about The parable of the sheep and the goats. God whispered in my ear, ‘I was silent and you gave me a voice’. He said that he was calling me to give these people a voice. Here is my own version of Matthew 25:35-36. Imagine a user of social services saying it to you.

I was hungry and you fed me
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink
I was homeless, and you found me somewhere to live
I was shivering, and you gave me some clothes
I was sick, and you visited me
I was in prison, and you still cared
I was cast out, but you included me
I was ignored, but you took the time to talk to me
But most of all, I was silent, and you gave me a voice.
