I am a metaphor by my representation of the God who created me. A metaphor is not exactly the same as what it represents. I have the ability to love and so does my God. I have the ability to show and desire justice for the poor. My God desires justice for the poor. However, I am not able to perfectly love as my God can. Justice in our society is not based on a perfect absolute. Our love for people closest to us is based on conditions no matter how deep our love. So being a metaphor means I represent a reality other than what I am. Yes, I exist, but I only exist as a representative of the God who is perfect in ways I only reflect metaphorically.
