Noble gases and God

Noble gases

When looking at the periodic table there are many different groups of elements. You have your highly reactive nonmetal elements you have your highly reactive metal elements you have your non-reactive and semi-reactive and the list goes on.
But all of the elements are trying to be one thing, Noble. Noble gases are the gases that are completely stable. All the other elements want to be like the noble gases. Some elements try and lose one or two electrons so they can reach the stability of the noble gases, other elements are trying to gain electrons so they can become like the noble gases. And yes people will argue that this is science and that it has to do with the pull on the electrons and that these gases don’t have a preference to be Noble, but let us set that aside for now. The noble gases, and bear with me here, remind me of God. We as people, whether we realize it or not, are always trying to be more like God. We see it in the way people continue to create, to understand, to grow to be more than what we are. Christians are always trying be more like Jesus, that’s a given. But I think all people want to reach God whether they know that’s what they are doing or not. Like the elements, it’s set into us to want to be close to our perfect creator. We all want to be perfect as God is perfect, even if we don’t realize it. But without knowing Jesus we will seek after false idols and false goals that we feel will complete us. But only Jesus can complete us. Just as the elements give away parts of themselves or try and gain parts of other elements to try and reach that stable perfection, we try and mimic other people and gain more things, or we give everything away and try to be minimal, all in a constant strive to be perfect and stable. But we can never be perfect, only God is perfect. But praise Jesus that He lives in us! Though, we can never be perfect in this world, the one who is resides within us and perfects us by His presence.
