Displayed
on the wall of my friends’ lake house is a collection of pictures. Each one of
the photos is of a sunset, taken from their deck during various seasons. While
each is strikingly beautiful—no two are identical. When I look at them, it
reminds me of what another friend once called a sunset—“God’s beautiful
signature at the end of a day.”
God
writes His signature on each sunset and on each of His unique children as well.
I never grow tired of discovering how every person I meet is so delightfully
different. God is infinitely creative, and the variety in our personalities,
senses of humor, abilities, and preferences in music and sports are all handcrafted
by Him.
In the
body of Christ, we see how a diversity of spiritual gifts still have a common
bond and can work together for God’s purposes to bring Him glory. In 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, we
read, “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are
differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of
activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.”
God’s
signature that is so evident in nature is also present in His people. Let’s
celebrate the differences that make each of His children unique.
The
signature of God is seen on His creation. (RBC)
