My top priority
He who will never leave and never dies.
We don't have to work to impress God.
He knows who we are and accepts us with unconditional love.

The creator and the creation


Let's just say, I feel the need to drop a few words here. The devotional readings are working miracles to my head, it seems with thoughtful quotes all year round. So yeah hi all. Sounds kind of lame for an opening credit lol. Anyway....
Did you know that the smith in silversmith comes from the old English word smite? Silversmiths are accomplished smiters. So is God. Once the worker is satisfied with the form of tool, he begins to planish and pumice it. Using smaller hammers and abrasive pads, he taps, he rubs and decorates. And no one stops him. No one yanks the hammer out of his hand and say "Go easy on that silver. You've pounded enough." No, the craftsman buffets the metal until he is finished with it.

It all boils down to the creation of mankind. How you and me are created. Isn't it amazing how we exist? And the way we are today is because He creates us exactly to his measurements, his standards. The moulder. The giver of life.

So what if we aren't taller?
Or thinner?
Or prettier?
Or more intelligent?
Or more this and that? Tell me sincerely, we aren't very satisfied people are we?

God never complains at his creation. He looks at us with love and says" You are mine, always." I can count the number of people who are willing to say that to me and surprisingly the numbers aren't many. So see, who loves you the most then?

Isn't it not Him who declares the pledge of love with so much vigour and clarity?
I know it is hard to grasp sometimes but He has his own way of planning things, even when bringing a new life into the world, or taking life back for that matter. Life just can't be controlled, not at least by us.

The clock ticks on. The seasons come and change. We grow old.
But there is one thing that remains. His Love for us. Endless. I don't think we can afford His love, not even in our lifetime. Yet, we are given His love, free.

What else can beat that?
Possession?
Unlimited wealth?
Please, refrain from being disillusioned by temporary earthly indulgences. We are never trully happy with that. Perhaps it makes no sense to you, but someday it will. Think. Think hard on what matters the most to you now.
