The self-made man, the self-made woman. It’s the story we are told all of the time.

But Scripture tells a different story. A story of being created in love by God. We are creatures made to live in dependency of a loving Creator. We are finite, limited creatures. Made to know and worship our Creator. Though we ran from God, God didn’t give up on us. Though we rejected God and wanted to be God ourselves, God’s love for us never quit. What does it mean to embrace our role as beloved creatures of our God? To embrace our own humanity– in need of limits, rest, and mercy? To rest in the arms of our Creator?
