Who are we?

David raises this question to God in Psalm 144.

He asks God why he even notices us.

Why does God think about us at all?

We are like passing shadows and yet God loves us.

He created us in love and he gave us the choice whether to love him back or not.

He didn’t need us when he created us and he doesn’t need us now……

But he loves us and he wants us to love him back.

We have no significance at all – except the significance God gives us by adopting us and making us his children…….

When we believe.  When we choose him and love him back.

Thank you, dear Father, for giving us significance.
