Itโs at the heart of everything we struggle with in life: longing to be valuable, to be accepted, to be prized, to be worth something to somebody, to have a life that matters, and Godโs saying โYou matter! I didnโt make anyone else like you. Youโre not a reprint or a lithograph. Youโre a one-of-a-kind, original creation of God.
Louie GiglioLife isn't perfect and that's the kind of world where Jesus showed up. He wasn't born in a palace on a perfect day. He was born in the middle of the night during tax season to an unwed couple in a stable or a cave in a sheep field. That was God's way of showing us that nothing is perfect. Life is chaotic. It's messy. That's what Jesus was stepping into.
