Consider the apple pie. When you remove a piece, the whole is diminished
by the size of the slice you have decided to enjoy, possibly alamode.
The original apple pie and the slice are composed of exactly the same
ingredients, in the same proportions, only the size different, the slice
merely a smaller representation of the whole. Soon others become
aware of your pie experiment and the “whole” pie that began our lesson
is now only represented by a crumb filled pie tin; the original
portioned to the many, probably alamode.
When considering God many think of Him in this way because it is logical. Believing that God is so large He can break off pieces of Himself without concern of ever becoming an empty tin. If this were true however regardless of how small the piece removed, the whole, like our apple pie, is still diminished. But, in truth, God is never diminished, cannot by His nature be diminished. He is as complete and whole today as a year, a thousand, ten thousand years ago. So we are not merely connected to God but we are of God, complete and whole in every way.
