It’s pretty great when it sinks in. And it doesn’t always sink in. In most distracted moments, I’d say it slides right off the back. It drifts directly over our heads when we’re caught up in our thinking, our anxieties, our obligations, etc. But sometimes, it hits you…
There came a time when the God of the universe who fashioned solar systems, mountains, and molecules made…
You.
Stitched you together with reverence and delight. Not because God needed you. But because God, being love, makes lovely, loveable, and beautiful things.
You’re always on God’s mind. God holds you in such high regard. Yes, you will experience hurt, anger, abuse, and sorrow. But God remains faithful to not let those things have the last word in your story. God works redemption and restoration through them, weaving them into the grand tapestry of your life. Those are the imperfections that just really make it pop.
