You are the gold
glittering before God's eyes; His treasure. There is no treasure like
you on earth or in heaven like you, for you have been made unique in His
sight. You are more than just gold: you are made in His image, and He sent His Son to die for you so you might live.
If
we are to open our eyes to the things God sees, we open them to the
reality that every human life - regardless of what choices were made
from or regarding it - is worth something to God. From
Hitler to Mother Teresa, from St. Francis of Assisi to Gandhi to Ward
Weaver, we were all made with a purpose. Some chose to fulfill them;
others didn't. That is part of our free will.
What we do
with our lives, ultimately, is up to us. The choices we make fall on us.
The better our choices, the better the outcome in the end. And God is
hoping we make those better choices for our own sakes, because He DOES
love us so dearly. He loves us with the most costly love there is... and
the most real.
Gold only glitters more and more as it is refined.
If you allow your life to be refined through the process of fire we all
go through instead of fighting it, you will glitter more at the end
than you can imagine.
We are gifts from God to one another and gifts back to God of ourselves. What kind of gift do YOU want to be?
