This is a little something I realized and wrote down while traveling earlier this summer. Thanks to the nature of moving, I got to rediscover this thought while unpacking boxes and sorting through my notebooks and things. What a blessing! I am always in need of forgiveness, I feel; but there are those days and weeks when I feel especially flawed, and this is one of those times in which these words were an overwhelming yet comforting reminder.

Imagine -- if you can recognize the flaws in yourself and others; and others can see where you are falling short in character development, spiritual maturity, attitude, and so on; how much more acute is God's knowledge of these things.
If you make (create or craft) something, you more than likely know its designated purpose. God most certainly knows that designed purpose for each and every one of His creations!
And imagine, since He not only can see where we fall short, but also how far we fall short, His forgiveness of us when we commit any sin (which may be dubbed our "ultimate shortcomings") is incredible. The fact that He has a perfect and unwavering love for us despite our flaws is unfathomable, overwhelming, and beautiful!
How wonderful is the God we serve?
