The Lord our God, whom-so-ever you might call Him by name, for He truly is one universal God, has given us dominion over the world.
Gen 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
That means the whole earth, not every square foot but the one you are occupying. The whole earth, and we are all included in that statement. You as a whole and complete person have dominion over your very own life, your circumstances and what you choose to do in this lifetime.
"The glory of God is man fully alive." ~ St. Irenaeus
The Glory of God is a Heart fully alive... the heart of a man or woman when fully alive is the Glory of God. Have you ever heard the expression "follow your heart"? As a teacher I always counsel my students that they should follow their hearts and do what they love in life and the rest will follow. No one can tell you what is in your heart. That is only something you can know. You are the key to unlocking your own heart.
