In general, designers are self-centered. They care only how their creations look, not how they look on real people. Who cares if this cut makes most of the female population look like a beach ball on legs or if that pattern draws everyone's attention to the wrong spots? Isn't it gorgeous to look at on this faceless manakin? God, on the other hand, always designs with a face in mind. In infinite love and wisdom, He looks at our broken world housing our broken lives and begins His creative work. He knows our greatest need is Himself, and He is able to use every circumstance to conform us to the image of Christ – which is the most flattering look for all mankind. That is how God can promise and keep Romans 8:28. Whether He convicts or corrects or comforts, our best is to be like Jesus. To that end, He gives and He takes away. He says no, and wait and stay and go, from His perfect, all-knowing, infinite love. That is His motive. The question is: What motive are we mentally assigning to God? Comments are closed.
