“And as the ax bites into the wood, be comforted in the fact that the ache in your heart and the confusion in your soul means that you are still alive, still human, and still open to the beauty of the world, even though you have done nothing to deserve it.”
– Paul Harding
Where did we come from? What are we doing here? How did we last so long? What happens after this?
God speaks to David the King, revealing some answers to these questions:
2 Samuel 12:7-8
Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!
God says I made you what you are today. Would God say the same of us?
Give it some thought.
