Have you ever been awestruck by something in nature?  Maybe you have been to the Grand Canyon or Yosemite National Park.  Just being in places of nature’s grandeur you can sense the value in their creation.  There are such intricacies in these places of large-scale beauty and magnificence that it is clear much energy was put in creating them.  Did you know that you were created with that same energy and value?  Did you know that nothing you can experience or believe in this lifetime will cause God to see you as anything less than the grandeur that you are? It can be hard for us to even imagine the truth held in that statement when we are used to defining our value by our doingness instead of our beingness.  We live in a world that on the surface functions by ego-centric definitions of worth.  Our value is based on how much money we have in the bank, what job we have, what we own, and if we match some societal idea and expectation of the status quo.  It is because the ego needs a way to distinguish us as other and so placing us into categories is one way to do that.  The spiritual reality is that we are not separate from the magnificence of the Grand Canyon or the beautiful intricacies of the seashells.  God does not place one of his creations as more important than another.  God, help me to see me as you designed me to be today.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to trusting that God was intentional in our creation as a part of the grand design and own that in our hearts.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
