Fingerprints of God.

Hey All.

So this past weekend I had some of the old Bible Study crew over. As well as catching up on the latest of our lives, we decided to have some actual Bible Study time. It led to a certain discussion/narration of what Heaven might be like.

My friend talked about how God loves creativity. All through Genesis and into the New Testament God is all about newer, complex, and creative things. When we get to Heaven my friend can't imagine that we're all just robots doing the same thing. In fact, quite the opposite. Heaven will be all of us rejoicing over our differences --- our different talents, our different interests, and the uniqueness of each one of us. This friend continued to ponder the idea that maybe when Christ came to earth to die for our sins, He truly came to die for the sake of each one of us. Christ came to save the creative work of art that He created. Yeah, to cover our sins and to give us His mercy, but He came to save each one of us. Each one of us. He doesn't look at us and see our individual sins. Rather, He sees us individually with our gifts and talents; our personalities and our passions.

I think it's possible to start living a little bit of Heaven by looking through the eyes of Christ…

Cheering you on as we bring Heaven to Earth as we seek to see through the eyes of Christ.

May you see the beauty in everyone you meet and may you know how truly special you are. May you know that your qualities, your personality, your fingers, your toes, your eyes, your smile, your interests, your hobbies, your talents, and so much more are the fingerprints of our extremely creative God who doesn't make mistakes. He makes beauty.
