Isn't God awesome?
I was praying this morning, and thanking God for His unconditional love for us, and thinking, WOW, He has promised never to leave us or forsake us. He has promised to keep us. He has promised never to destroy the earth by flood again (though looking around I don't think people in Noah's time could've been a whole lot worse than the world today strives to be). And I was thinking, we are God's creation, and He has every right to destroy us if He wants to.
Compare it to this: You drew a self portrait, or made a model of yourself in clay. It's perfect, and then your dog comes and messes it up a little (or a lot!). Sometimes you can't even tell that it was supposed to look like you. Wouldn't we as humans take our flawed image, destroy it, and start again? But how much grace does God show us, we who are made in His image but are so flawed, in even allowing us to exist? Instead of constantly seeing our flaws and hating them, He loves us simply because we are His creation, his handiwork. He loves it when we get past the flaws and try to reflect Him to the world. He loves us even when we hate Him, resist Him, try to get away from Him, don't even pretend to try to look like Him
Isn't God amazing?
