A One Year Old Bible Teacher


Isaiah 63-65

I am sitting in Vanderbilt’s Cardio Vascular Health Unit with a multitude of broken-down humans.  Its hard to tell just sitting here how broken they are, but get them up to answer the loud speaker and you can immediately tell.  Broken people move like broken people. In the midst of this throng of broken down humans is a 15-month-old toddler scampering around like a butterfly in a field of flowers.  She goes from one person to another spreading joy throughout the room.  She doesn’t see defective bodies housing humans, but flowers of interest and wonder. 

She reminds me of how these verses teach how God sees each of us.  He never sees a broken down, spent and used-up human, but always sees us as a flowering gem, apple of His eye, always longing to bring and keep us to Himself.
