One place in the entire universe that God made receives his attention. One little ball covered with gases and dust so thick that light won't penetrate, spinning around a sun, covered with water, with no land yet formed. Because of you. Great as the cosmos is, what mattered to him most of all the things he did was to create beings in his own image who could freely respond to his love, who could hear his voice, understand his heart, and give their hearts back to him. That's what the creation story tells us.
Human beings are the crown of creation.
And not just any human beings, not just all of humanity-you. The Spirit of God hovered over this planet because he loved you, and he knew someday you would be on this planet. He knew someday you would be created in his image with the opportunity to know and glorify him. He knew you by name. The clouds that had covered the earth became translucent, and light began to flood this little planet.
