We forget our story,

and we forget who we are,

and where we came from.

This story,

if you are a Christian

is your story.

This story is your identity

and this story is where you belong.

And this story makes one thing clear:

you matter to God,

because,

as St. Augustine said,

if you were the only person on planet earth

needing redemption

our Lord Jesus Christ

would still go to the cross.

He loves you that much.
