Ravi Zacharias told a beautiful story today that I wanted to keep in my heart but most importantly to share it with a co-worker who gets weary being a devoted divorced mom to two high functioning Autistic boys. Plus, another way to share God to her...
Ravi was flying somewhere and read about a silk school in Japan. He was so intrigued by the story of one boy who wanted to weave waves of silk to cover all the oceans. Ravi decided to check out this school for himself. He discovered that all the students of this silk school were Down Syndrome kids.
Ravi got to meet the young man who weaves waves of silk and other artwork. He also got to meet the mother. This mother was so proud of her son and conveyed a very moving story. Foreigners are willing to pay top dollar for his art and this young man is excited to had over every bit of it to his mother saying 'thank you for being here. With you here, I am here to make this art and give this money to you.'
Ravi goes on to say that we are here as well because God values us. How heavy is that? Am I living, giving, sharing, delighting with a God-Joy that I am eager to rightfully give God the credit? Do I truly know my worth to Him? Or am I in the mud mucking about? God gave His Only Begotten Son to pay for my sins! Huge value placed upon my head.... Am I giving Him honor in all that I love to do? and even in the mundane stuff?
( I hope I remember the story right. Must remember to get the podcast to hear it again.)
