The Worth of A Soul
The line from
the famous Christmas Carol, “…and the soul felt its worth.” on that Holy Night,
caught my attention. What is the worth of a soul is asked myself. Is it
measured in gold, silver, stocks, bonds, money, what? Does the soul have a price? If it does, what
could that price be? The teaching of Christianity says it is bought by the ‘blood
of Jesus’. Other religions say it can be bought with good works. Still others
claim there is no such thing as a soul if you do not count Motown. Really what
is the worth of a soul?
I am of the
opinion that souls are priceless. A soul is not a thing; but the composite of the
experiential energies accrued by the individual within that soul through its
many journeys. Our souls hold sacred the spark of Divinity and we build our
lives around it. Souls are vibrant organic entities expressing as you and me. We
are souls and cannot be bought or sold.
We are
priceless souls.
