God Knows Your Name

Billions of leaves scattered about under the trees around the Common.
Each leaf slightly different than another – some brighter, some darker, some more golden, some more brown.
No two leaves exactly alike.
But each created with a purpose.
Each just as important as the other.
That’s a lot like “we the people”, isn’t it?
Billions of people in the world – different backgrounds, different colors, different lives but each of us created with a God-given talent and purpose.
Each just as valuable as the other.
And, as we might love all the beautiful fall colors, so God loves all of us.
Each and every one.
Each has a name, and God knows yours. Isn’t that cool?
Out of all those leaves, out of all these people, God knows you by name. And, He loves you.
