Yesterday was such a beautiful day, it was nice to get out of the office for lunch and walk along the trail that surrounds the building where I work.
As I was walking, I saw countless people doing the same thing. Most of them I did not recognize. Yet each person represents a life, a story, someone the Lord loves.
Someone the Lord died for.
That's astonishing to me. How so many whose faces I have already forgotten are each known and loved by Jesus. And that was just one 35-minute walk.
Multiply this by countless cities, states, and countries...
How amazing our God is to have the capacity to know and love so many!
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 (NIV)
Perhaps the least we can do is to better love the ones we do know.
