Cameras are everywhere these days. Computer cameras enable this meeting. Cell phone cameras record events, historic and personal. Life is recorded by security cameras. Drone cameras. Dashboard cameras. Police body cameras.
What if we had soul cameras? What if each person had a camera for what the soul sees?
What would a soul camera reveal, particularly in American society today?
I
imagine that our soul cameras would show people’s pain.
Grief.
Anger.
Anxiety.
Loneliness.
Fear.
Yet
soul cameras would also show people’s yearning, and potential, for connection.
People’s
struggle between self-righteousness and self-protection, on the one hand, and
openness and vulnerability, on the other.
People’s
yearning to matter.
People’s yearning to contribute to others.
Soul
cameras would show God at work in every person.
