Sometimes we forget how valued we are by God. It seems nonsensical that we could matter that much to such a great being. But if we did not matter, why would we be alive? God could have created anything and anyone but God created all that we experience and see including ourselves. What if we supported each other in our daily lives in the same way? What if we had the courage to take a moment and recognize the inherent worth in ourselves and the people around us? Regardless of our shortcomings and our failures, regardless of our eccentricities or origins, regardless of our physical demonstrations of power and success. What might the world look like if we were supporting the inherent value of each life simply because it exists. If the premise we worked from included supporting God’s choices and not just our own, how might we treat ourselves and every person we encounter? At the end of our lives we do not get to take anything with us, it is simply us and our way of being. What if our life meant the value of life was supported in a myriad of different ways? If we truly believed God equipped us with the light of life in our hearts, would we be able to see more clearly and support the light of life in the hearts of others?
