As I sit listening to worship music talking to my father, my computer shifts to screensaver mode flooding with pictures. Pictures that make me laugh. Pictures that make me smile. Pictures that fill my soul with joy and I wonder what God sees in his picture collage. He knows everyone of these moments intimately. As the pictures wash pass I praise him for these people. I pray for my friends, family, and youth kids as they whisk by. My mind wanders to what the next year's pictures will look like. Who will be part of them, the landscape that surrounds them. And more importantly the souls that are present in each picture. Their stories full of joy and hope but also ones of desperation and deep sadness. My heart beats excitedly to touch their lives. To be Jesus with skin on! To be used by my Heavenly Father for some purpose in their live and them in mine. Each of these moments in time holds memories and triggers emotion. It amazes me to think that if God had a computer his screensaver would be so full of everyone of his children that he knows intimately. Full of the happiness and sadness in each of their lives. He'd care about each picture each person and for that alone his greatness goes unmatched. I don't believe God has favorites among his children but his plan for each of us is unique. His love for us is deep. I look forward to meeting more of his children this year and allowing him to use my every breath for these pictures that will bring him joy and glory. Actually make that the rest of my life. I want it to be full of pictures that speak and bring God glory!
