On worthiness

Mar 10, 2010

Lightning struck a bundle of cells and sparked a heartbeat, brain waves, fingerprints.

Me.

Created by Something Divine, extraordinary, unknowable. And a spark became a raging inferno of personality, soul, intellect, heart.

I am worthy.

A brushstroke upon an infinite canvas. A solitary note in an eternal symphony. A grain of sand upon a wide, wide shore, constantly caressed by a fathomless ocean.

The whole of the universe is incomplete without me. Without you. Without us.

We are worthy.

Of love; of hope; of dreams; of passion; of tears; of minor miracles that make this life somehow less lonely.

Inspired by Brené Brown's Week of Worthiness.

On the contrary, we are so unworthy.

Respectfully disagree. If you accept that the creator of the universe was willing to sacrifice everything for you - then you must also accept that your value in his eyes in without measure.

You are worthy of his love, this life . . . if for no other reason than he created you and paid an eternal price for you. You are a prize of great worth.

Thank you, Brené. You've unknowingly turned my life on its head this week.

God bless you.

Well, I guess we are looking at the same coin from two different sides.

You see, we are like a little rag doll that has been dirtied and torn. Worthless.
Yet, the little girl who owns the rag doll loves it immeasurably.

That is how I see God loving us. Completely worthless, yet He loves us. I find it absolutely breathtaking.
