My Journey to God

Each of Us is a Masterpiece of God’s Creation

Imagine yourself pausing in front
of a design of great beauty.
Your soul quiets and is filled
with wonder and awe.
If art … can evoke such a response in us,
how much more is the same
wonder, reverence and respect
Due to each person … who was
handcrafted by the very God
who spoke the world into being?
When God created each of us, he did so
with precision and purpose, and
He looks on each of us with love
that cannot be outdone
in intensity or tenderness. …
The Lord invites each of us to behold
ourselves and each other
with the same wonder and awe. …
Let us treat each person as
the masterpiece that he or she is.
