As already mentionned before I am still absolutely fascinated by the beauty God even put in the smallest details. Today I had a few minutes while my little girl was napping and I used them to walk around with my camera in hand. I think I took over 300 pictures (a happy external drive that had a feast today ;-)! Pictures of flowers, insects, mushrooms, cobwebs and even a spider (which I usually loathe).
As I went through my pictures something really struck me. I had photographed a raindrop on a blade of grass and as I enlarged it to make sure my picture was sharp enough, this raindrop suddenly 'became alive'! I mean there was a whole world in there! Well its world was the lawn - many, many blades of grass,but still... Pretty amazing!!!
God really does care about the details... even about millions of raindrops that go by unnoticed! And how much more about us and the little details of our lives! He notices and He sure cares!
I just wished I'd care more about also sharing my details with God. I can go by without talking to Him for quite a long time without even noticing that I don't... Which brings me back to the one thing my life hangs on - GRACE!
By GRACE I have been saved and GRACE is what sustains me. I sure don't deserve any of God's goodness, simply because I fail Him again and again. I am sooooo thankful, that my Christian life does not depend on me and my performance, but on Him who lives inside of me, His forgiveness and Him sticking to His promises.
I am soooo thankful for it all. Even though my life sometimes feels to me like a little raindrop - it comes and passes away, unnoticed, unsignificant - I know that in God's equation it's different: there is a whole world inside that raindrop and this world is called JESUS! This is very encouraging to me!
