    Divine indwelling?

    I find it easier just to say 'Jesus lives in my heart'. Works for everyone from three years olds to ninety plus.:)

    That's the one, thanks. Its my sons birthday tomorrow, he will be four. He died at the end of February from a brain tumor. A priest was explaining the concept of divine indwelling to me. He stated that it was the belief that God lives in our hearts and that when you die you go to God and that Ben now lived in my heart with God and was closer to me than ever.

    I'm not the most religious guy but this has stayed with me.

    Sorry to hear about your loss :(

    That is an amazing way of putting it. The priest was right there and I bet that will stick with me too.

    God bless

    I'm so sorry to hear that, I'm sure that everyone here will keep you in their prayers. The priest put it wonderfully in my opinion.
