I have a job! Having a job is great. It's not a glamorous job, or a very exciting job, but it is something to do, and it helps pay the bills, so I am very happy and very thankful. At my job, I am a potato grader. We package potatoes for stores, and restaurants and so on, and so as a potato grader it is my job to pick out the bad potatoes so that they do not get packaged with the good potatoes. There are times when it can be quite dull, and I haven't anything to do but think, think, think. That, of course, can sometimes be good, and at other times not so good. On the good days, I spend a lot of time in prayer while I'm working away, and singing songs of praise and worship. One such day had me realizing that I could share lots of lessons from work, share many of the things that I feel God is teaching me while I'm working. Today, I would like to talk about God's love for all of us!
You see, as part of my job, I have to be very picky about the potatoes I throw out. There are potatoes that are too big, too small, rotten, sunburned, or discolored, oddly shaped, etc. Sometimes, we feel the same way about people. We carefully choose our friends, and disregard the others, sometimes based on similar criteria. "Oh, she's too loud." or "He's too busy." are just some examples, not very good ones, I know, but that's just how we can be at times. Today, I am thankful that God doesn't treat us that way. In God's eyes, He sees us as all worthy of His love. It matters not to Him what size we are, what color we are, how spoiled rotten we may be, or how often we've let the sun burn our skin. Still, without question, He loves us more than we could ever fathom. He tells us "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you." Jeremiah 1:5. How amazing is His love?! He knows exactly how we're going to turn out, and still He loves us. Today, I am so thankful for that LOVE. God is amazing.
