The Potential of a Stick

I spent the day with Rosalie and some of my friends from our youth group up in Superior hunting for driftwood for Rosalie's crafting business, Spahr Mercantile. We scoured the beach looking for interesting pieces of driftwood that she can use to make some of her rope creations. 

If you don't know what you're looking for, they tend to just look like a regular stick. But once you get the hang of it you begin to see the possibilities for what they can become.

I think that's the way it is for God when he looks at us. He looks at us the way we look at our kids. He doesn't just see an ordinary person; he sees the possibilities and the potential.

That's the way we are supposed to view each other, as well.
