This passage reminds me that I am part of God’s creation. A tapestry, a unique part of a grand jigsaw puzzle. My particular thread or jigsaw puzzle piece is necessary to complete the whole. I am reminded that I am not the only part. It is vital that I recognize everyone else’s unique, important place in God’s creation. We all have a role to play. God is in me and in the other. We might disagree on what we need to accomplish but we are both part of the equation. What can I learn from the other? Do I need to re-examine my opinions/perspective/prejudices/closely held beliefs? My life matters. Every life matters. We are deeply loved.
