AT ALL TIMES, GOD IS AWARE OF HIS WHOLE CREATION, BUT HE IS ALSO AWARE OF EACH PART OF HIS CREATION

God did not merely create “the human race,” but He created each of us as individual persons. Surely God must have had a purpose in making the creation as He did, with many various parts, all unique and different from one another. Surely His Fatherly joy must come not only from thinking of His work as a whole, but from thinking of the uniqueness of each part.

Do you ever despise your own set of particulars: your circumstances, your characteristics, your life? Do you ever wish you had someone else’s situation? Do you ever doubt that what you can do is going to matter in the larger scheme of things? If you do, my prayer is that you will learn to appreciate

1. the greatness of the creation of which you are a part, and
2. the uniqueness of the part that God had in mind for you personally.

In the grand oratorio of creation, God wasted no effort on duplicate or unnecessary parts. Without your voice, the music will be marred and diminished.

Finally, let us consider that if we’ve obey the word and are walking faithfully with God, we each have a RELATIONSHIP with Him that is absolutely unique. God would have sent His Son to the cross if you were the only person who needed to be saved, and having saved you, He loves the way YOU respond to His goodness.
