How Precious We All Are
I just have to say how awesome the bus system truly is. I've saved so much gas, so much wear and tear on my car, hundreds of quarters that haven't gone to parking meters and I've met quite a few people. So all in all.. a i give two thumbs up to the Urbana-Champaign MTD Bus System.
The point to which I'm writing this blog however is not about the bus system, but something I've learned while partaking in the wonderous bus system. I was hitching a ride on the 13N Silver and as it sped down Lincoln towards my destination, I casually glanced outside. Cars and people flashed by, their movement and speed diminuitized by the bus massive size and momentum.
As my eyes tried to focus on what was swiftly melting away, I noticed a small patch of green grass sitting in the sunlight. There was a glow about the grass, an almost luminescence. Within the grass sat a small squirrel. Nothing particularly special about this squirrel. Just an ordinary squirrel, eatting an acorn or nut of some sort. Just doing what squirrels do best. I smiled happily at it. Simply seeing the squirrel gave me such an immense feeling of joy and peace.
Then something within my mind, within my heart, flashed, and I had an epiphany, a revelation. In that moment, God spoke to me.
He said to me, "Do you see that squirrel? It's just your average, every day squirrel. Do you see what it is doing? It's doing nothing extraordinarily special. It's just eating. But despite all this, it still was able to make you smile. It still brought happiness to you. Though it's just a squirrel. You saw it as being special and you saw it as something of worth and value. Now... if you think that way about a squirrel, how do you think then that I feel for the squirrel? But even then.. how do you think that I feel for you? When you are doing something simple like eating.. or sleeping, I look down on you and you make me smile. I love you and you make me happy, even in the little things that you do. Because you are special and precious to me."
I cried. I felt so loved, so special, and so wonderful. Praise Jesus. God is awesome! So don't you ever forget. God loves you and you make Him happy. He finds joy in our simple ways and through all of our lives. We are all precious in His sight.
