Astonished

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:1-3 ESV)

Christ made everything. Every seed, every blossom, down to every molecule in anything and everything, he made. He gave us the ability to taste and he made things with sweetness, sour, and spice.

He made our eyes, then he created the rainbow and stars for us to see. He formed every child, down to the tiny, soft, hairs on their little heads. He made the stuff you are sitting on and all the water you drink.

He created all the photons and he is responsible for every glimmer of light – everywhere in all creation. He made each and every electron for all the power there is, and he made every sub-atomic particle, many we don’t yet know exist, and they are holding the universe together.

He made the wind and so every breeze is his. He made the storm and created the calm. Snow was his idea, as is the heat of Summer. He hears your every word and is the only other person who knows what you are thinking and so he is listening to all your prayers.

He died on a tree he created in seed and soil, he caused it to live and to be strong enough to hold his body so he could die on it. He formed the hill on which it stood. He fashioned, by his spoken word alone, the Earth that held the hill on which the tree stood. He made our planet from nothing and set it in a solar system he designed, within a galaxy he set in a field of millions of galaxies, in a universe that is absolutely dependent on him in every way for its very existence.

And he made you.

Give a little credit.
