Friends. Can you even believe it? The God who is so powerful that his spoken word generated more galaxies than we can count – this is the God who calls you and me his children.
After all the acts of creation, and many years of history that passed, God chose to physically show up on this messed up planet and demonstrate how life should be lived. And then he suffered terrible agony so that all our messes can be made right.
At some point a few years ago, he looked at this creation that is “very good” and decided that it needed- specifically in this time and place- a version of humanity that is you, and another that is me.
On purpose.
And when he looks at you and at me, and the state we are in as a result of his suffering, he says, “it was all worth it.”
Oh friends. Can you even believe it? We are called children of God, because in his grace and mercy, that is what we are!
Let’s just be grateful today, and pray that we and our children can see the immensity of this gift.
