Each Gem

The only viable explanation for why the Lord made every single person on this planet with differing DNA is twofold; 1, so that he would be able to reconstitute each of us after we expire for the purpose of judgment and afterlife, 2, so that each individual is given a particular set of talents/assets for one specific Purpose to which no other person would be uniquely capable.

These are the thoughts to which Christianity commits us, deeper things, higher things, Godly things.  It is in our nature to figure things out.  I believe that this is the longing which God has placed in our heart so that each person has the innate desire to search for God.  Every man wants answers, thirsts for reason, seeks understanding because this is what God most wants for each of us, that this yearning will bring us face to face with a perfect Creator through the truth of Jesus, the Cross and resurrection.  This is the entire foundation of the Bible, this unique quest of mankind to discover our Father and then choose to either befriend Him, obey Him and follow Him or deny His rightful place in each of our lives.  All complexity is reduced to the simple fact that God loves us and left a guidebook on how to build the most important relationship possible.

What does that yearning in your heart say to you each waking day.  Is it akin to loneliness for which there is no satisfaction through worldly relation?  Is it a scientific quest for proof of concept, leading down the mathematical pursuit of empirical reasoning and testing?  Or is it a feeling of loss or unfulfillment, that aching void which leads you to discover God as the only answer and His eternal purpose for each life as the only resolution?  Whatever facet the motivation they all lead to one conclusion, God placed this yearning in each of us, uniquely designed to lead back or forward to the same destination, a meeting, an opportunity to know the God who made us.

I do not deserve the honor of being His vessel.  It breaks my heart that the Lord would use such an imperfect, cracked and unclean cup to deliver the pure waters and food of Life that sustains us.  Forgive me Father and thank you for seeing what I cannot.  Jesus comes, Jesus Lives, Jesus Reigns in our hearts and soon shall occupy the throne of David as God promised.
