Sandy shores

Magnified sand.

I was thinking about the line  'He even counts every hair on your head!' (Matthew 10:30) today. How God knows us, knows everything, our deepest secrets and desires. How he knows every single hair on our heads. 

To looks at the world mankind is just a blur, like sand on a beach, we are one and the same, all human, all capable of good and evil, all living for a reason though not really knowing what that reason is. What our journey will entail.

God see's us like sand too. But like magnified sand. As the picture above shows, every little speck that, to our naked eye, is the same as every other speck, is actually different. Is incredible and beautiful in it's own, unique way. Is a swirl of pattern, colour and detail that we simply can't see. But God can. He see's us for what we truly are, for what's hidden beneath the blah-ness.

And, through knowing us, he knows what our journey will be. Knows what will be paved before us. Right now, life is feeling pretty mundane, days swirl into one and weeks stretch unbroken, like a deserted beach (I like sand lots today) but, I have faith that the good things will come, by being obedient to His word and surviving the toils of now, I will be rewarded.

So, to sum up that gobbledygook. God knows you, every inch of you, the good and the bad. When life feels dull, you're in pain or other general suffering, believe in Him and that you will get what you need, in His time and to His plan. And lastly, no matter what is going on, your Bible (and cake) will see you through.

'You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.'
