Hello ,
A story from a few
years ago:
He climbed into the backseat of our family vehicle grinning from ear to ear. My son had just got back from taking a load of scrap metal with a family friend to the recycling center. He had been working for the past two days piling iron, copper, stainless steel, and aluminum in various areas for recycling. He
and the friend loaded it on a trailer and took it to the center to see what they could get for the load. My son was quite unprepared for what he would receive.
$540. for a load of, what appeared to be junk! I was flabbergasted. He was elated and excited as he proudly showed us how his hard work had paid off. When they
had left with the trailer load, I had chuckled to myself that someone would be willing to pay for all that scrap metal. I was amazed by the results.
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."
This experience reminded me that God often places a higher value on people than we do. There are times when Christians don't give others a passing glance. God doesn't view them like that at all. Every one of them is precious in His sight. Let me challenge you to ask God to allow you to see others through His lens today. What a difference it can make!
Have a great day and God bless!
