“Do not Fear, God is Near” Perhaps you have seen a copy of this painting? The expressionist artist Edvard Munch painted it. It is called, “The Scream”. It is meant to depict our fear of all that is worst in our world. Isaiah 43:1-7
People have value, not because of who they are, but because of whose they are. There is a big difference between these two perspectives. To focus on who we are is to focus on our accomplishments. To focus on whose we are is to recognise that God himself has created us unique and special.
