| For most of Creation, God took nothing and made something. Light, land, water, plants, animals...and the list continues. Then there's man. He took something, and made something more out of it. He added extra--His own breath.
No one is nothing. Everyone is made of something. Even if we don't like them, even if they frustrate us, or we frustrate ourselves, even when we don't like who we are... God made us out of something, then He added something even more special--His image.
This is what I have to remember when I don't like things about myself, my husband, my friends and even my enemies. There is something in that person that I love, and it is the same breath I carry, a fleeting image, a reflection of the moon on the water... And then I just pray to love myself, my husband, my friends and even my enemies even more, and then continue to work on that whole "like" issue.
This week--recognize the something in someone. |
