i'm at Fall Getaway at camp thunderbird sitting on rocks, feeling the water soak through my tennis shoes. as i reach down to play in the water, i find a single shell. i almost put it back to find a bigger one, but then i realized how much in common i have with this small, insignificant shell. it looks like all the rest, but is so unique. there is not a single shell in all the world exactly like this one. people overlook this little shell all the time. it's "just another shell" they may say. "what's so special about it?"
even in the midst of billions of people, hidden in a crowd, when i might think "what's so special about me? i'm just another person", God notices me. and He doesn't JUST notice me and pass me by. He DWELLS on me, DESIRING a PERSONAL relationship with small, insignificant me. that will never grow old. i will never get tired of God grabbing me, looking me straight in the eye, and saying, "I love YOU." He does this daily in many ways that i too often overlook. it may be as simple as waking up in the morning with the realization that no matter what happens today, "all is well with my soul."
