The symmetry in these bananas got me to thinking about how much we rely on balance in our lives. Too much of something might not be good, and not enough can also be bad.
Scientists like to talk about symmetry, and I often do not understand what they are saying. However, I understand that our atoms rely on a certain balance that makes things work.
In our spiritual lives, it may seem like we can get along fine without God by living by some basic principles. However, in day-to-day living, principles become diluted, and balance gets lost. Having a relationship with God provides a grounding that doesn’t waver. When we regularly look at the teachings of Jesus it keeps bringing symmetry or balance to our outlook.
This last week, I read to my granddaughter from a children’s Bible story book. The basic stories about Jesus seem to resonate with reason and love.
If you have a chance to read a little about Jesus to gain a little symmetry, I thought the following chapter was interesting: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%206&version=NIV
