I was inspired the other day by this quote I saw on Pinterest:
(credit goes to the original author, it is not my property) |
I wanted to love it so
much. It sounds like the quaintest little description of people I've
ever read. But at the same time; this view of us is really so wrong.
Why?
I think that whoever wrote this missed an important part of the
picture. Yes, humans are cute. We have our weird quirks and habits, we
are living and loving under the countless stars. But we're not just
animals, we don't just do this stuff for no reason. We're more than
bodies, we are souls. And we were created by a loving God to have
breakfast beneath billions of stars. And we were created to do that for His glory.
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
I like thinking about the beauty of the story that God is writing into each life on earth.
If I rewrote this little passage, it would look like this:
"Humans
are so cute; when we say goodbye we put our arms around each
other and to show we love someone we bring them flowers. We say hello by
holding each others hand, and sometimes tiny little dewdrops form in
our eyes. But the simple things like that can't even begin to describe
how much greater our purpose in life really is. We are God's precious
creations, and he loves us so much he'd die to have time with us in
eternity. And we bring God our tiny little efforts to be like him
because it makes him smile when we want to please Him. We're just His
children learning to fall in love with Him and having breakfast beneath
billions of stars; stars that He made to give us just a glimpse of His
magnificence."
There's my random vent on purpose for you all today! Talk to you later!
