Thousands of years before what we know life as today,
There was God,
And there was me,
And there were millions of other you’s and I’s and he’s and she’s.
He knew each one, because He molded each heart.
A huge black canvas was set before Him,
And his mighty yet gentle hands began to paint.
As He spoke out,
“Yellow sun
Blue water
Brown land
Green trees
Black depths,”
He wrote the script in His mind:
When king so-and-so would enter stage left;
And explorer what’s-his-name, stage right;
Here I enter,
Watch for your cue too.
Each scene, each act—
Masterly planned, perfectly directed.
I can complain and fret all I want, but when the director says “Fly!”
I’d better fly!
Because after all, the whole play came from the imagination of He Who Knows All.
It started from a blank, cold, dark universe.
And because of a God who didn’t want to be alone.
Thoughts? This week I have just been exploring creation and life from the point of view of God and His desire to not be alone. As much as we need Him, He WANTS us. He created us. He just wants to be with us.
There are horrible things happening in the world, but that wasn't what God intended when He created us. He just wanted to be with us, enjoy us. The fall kind of messed that up, but Jesus made that kind of relationship possible again…He bridged the gap between us and God so that we could really get to know His heart. With that perspective, it seems to me that a lot of other concerns and worries in life seem to be put into perspective.
Beautiful Kelsey and an angelic way to put God’s creation.
WOW! For a young lady who has a birthday on the 24th and won’t even be a quarter of a century old – your understanding and interpretations are PROFOUND!
God is amazing! Thank you so much Kelsey 🙂
This is such a neat way of thinking about Him and His creation.
First of all, Kelsey, that was beautiful indeed.
Second, I don’t want anyone to take this comment I’m about to write as a form of bashing Christianity. I just want understand. This is coming from a university student, being surrounded by so much knowlegde, who has lost understanding to the point in which her belief in Jesus as God is dwindling away.
Can anyone of you guys please help me to understand why is it that the death of Jesus and the belief that he is the Son of God and our savior is the only way in which we can build a relationship with God. I don’t understand why I can’t just go to God without Jesus being in the picture.
Jeanette:
You pose a very good question! Thanks for asking! One answer to your question is that “Jesus reveals everything we need to know about God”. In other words, “God is like Jesus”. I won’t argue that there is no other way to God-although many would; but when I look at Jesus and his invitation to follow him, I see how God has come to address our needs, our sins and failures, as well as our hopes and fears.
The part about “Jesus died for our sins” is easier to say than it is to understand. Even the part about “Jesus is my Savior” can be like that. See what part of Jesus, and what words of Jesus, and what truth and love of Jesus touches your heart or mind, and start there! Sometimes we find when we are searching for God, that God has been searching for us all along, because God wants a relationship with us.
Peace to you.
