Chemistry and people and how it relates to God..

Q:What bring people and molecules together??
A: Chemistry

Was thinking about how us humans connect with one and another and with God..
and the answer came instantly to me...
BONDING!!!!

It's similiar to how atoms/molecules work..

For those of u that are rusty with chemisty after not touching it for so long.. here's a little revision with a twist

Metallic Bonds -attraction between sea of delocalised electrons and positively charged ions.
Like the positively charged ions, we must be with people who are similiar to our natures and not be afraid of sharing what we have (delocalised electrons).. we must not be afraid to share cos it keeps us bonded together.. And how it relates to faith?? We must be in a community of believers that will sustain us and allow us to contribute to the community(through the delocalised electrons)..

Covalent Bonds - electrostatic forces of attraction when two atoms share pair(s) of electron(s)
Between people and between us and God, there must be something to attract us to each other, we must share a common thing and that is a relationship with one another (be it friendship, kinship etc). And the best part is sharing.. We need to share (like the atoms with the electrons) what we have for that was what was done among the community of early christians (Acts 2:43-47).

Ionic Bonds - Strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
In ionic bonds, the electropostive atom would donate electrons to the electronegative atom, in relationship, there must be a give and take too.. sometimes we must give in to others whereas sometime we take from others.. like God, sometimes, we take Him for granted but we need to know that we need to give in to Him so that he can fufill his plans..

Well, there's all to bonding and chemistry and spiritual growth for now..
Let's hope we can find more interesting stuff the next time round
