Serving Rascals, Clumsy Disciples, and Physically and Mentally Ill Believers with the Unconditional Love of Jesus Christ
One of my favorite cities is Chicago, IL. I like its bustle and its different neighborhoods. I came across this photo on National Geographic and wanted to share it with you.
I think what it does is put you into a completely different viewpoint. Seeing the city with a whole different set of eyes. So much of walking out our spiritual lives is vision, seeing things from His perspective.
Everyone of us is very different than anyone else. Think “snowflakes” and you begin to get a grip on exactly how unique we really are. The Book of Genesis tells us that we are created in the image of God. And the Bible alludes to a complexity and creativity about human beings that is breathtaking in scope and substance. We are each uniquely special, revealing the personality of an infinitely, creative God.
This photo helps connect me to an understanding of how we are different from each other. Each color is important, and each needs to be esteemed. We find that we need each other, and should regard each person as a special creative canvas of our Creator Father.
Finishing up a time in Grand Junction, Colorado. I’m markedly impressed with the beauty, and the people I met. Earth is not my home, not by a long shot, but my time in Western Colorado was both timely and rejuvenating.
There are times when we are driven to a most desperate place. We can go no lower. Jesus meets us, He does not forsake us. He stands up and intercedes for our souls. He bends over to pick us up, speaking wonderful things to our confused and misguided hearts. He loves us, and the purpose of our trials teach us that critical truth. We learn it in no other way.
