Thoughts to drive us – We are “but dust”

dustWe are dust – earthy and humble, finite and temporal…We live on borrowed breath. We are alive in the most profound sense of the word – filled with the very breath that spoke creation into being. Within this tension is a status that is regal but lowly, significant but insignificant, unique but ordinary. God looks upon humanity’s frame of dust and says, “I formed you, I love you, and I delight in you.”

We are beloved dust.

Jamin Goggin and Kyle Strobel, Beloved Dust, p 8
