My wife and I attended a gathering tonight. It was an evening of humor, laughter and insight. At one point discussion turned toward the mysteries of God--namely the idea of the Trinity. How can God be God, but be also man and spirit? We laughed and bantered about trying to explain the infinitely unnatural in human terms.
Later, on the drive home, my wife and I talked about it some more. For a moment I became lost in the awesomeness of it. I can't even begin to understand God. Nor can I explain how a being so vast and so eternal can be so personal as to want a relationship with me. I just have to accept on faith that He is and He does.
I've been struggling with doubt--wondering how a man with all of my hang-ups, habits and hurts could ever be worthy of the love of One so magnificent. The truth is I am not worthy. And then it struck me. It is not about my worth or lack of worth that matters. It is that God sees me (and each one of us) as a treasure of incalculable value. I am going to try to make that idea real in my day to day life.
