Humans.

God is amazing. Do you know how many things in your body had to go right for that breath you just took to actually happen? A lot. The most amazing thing that God created is you and me. By far the most amazing. Here's why.

1. Think about the number of processes the human body performs every second of the day. Breathing. Blinking. Food breakdown. Blood flowing. Brain Activity. There are a huge amount of processes that the body performs. And we don't control any of them. We don't think about breathing. Or blinking. We can't command our stomachs to break down food. We can't force our organs to work a certain way. God has designed our bodies in amazing ways. The fact that we can drives cars and control our arms and feet at the same time. That's amazing. The fact that we can run. Jump. Skip. Laugh. Cry. Dance. Amazing. Everything is designed perfectly. Even if you don't feel that way about yourself. We are amazing creatures.

2. Our brains are one of the most complex and interesting things. We can think. Reason. Feel. Express emotion. Create. You can try to compare us to some other animal. But you won't get very far. We were created to rule over all other creation on Earth. God designed us to be the ones who carry life on here on Earth. God ultimately decides what happens. But He gave us free will and functioning brains.

3. There are 6,768,167,712 people in the world. No one is the same. Not one. Not even twins. They may look alike. But their personalities are different. Their interests are different. Their fears and weaknesses are different. But God made them all. Every one of them. He knows them all. Every single one. He knows all of our hearts. He knows our dreams. He knows when we sit and lie down. We can try to run far from Him. But He is there already. Waiting. Waiting for us to acknowledge Him. He knows us. All 6,768,167,712 of us.

4. We are relational. We need other people. We have desires for friends. Family. Kids. We want to feel love. We want to give love. That's amazing. Animals hunt. Kill. And mate because it is necessary for life. We chose where to live. What to eat. And who we marry. And it's all based on relations. The idea of a wedding is crazy. We are the only creation that had a whole day dedicated to a wedding. We get dressed up. We bring gifts. We laugh. We cry tears of joy. For a wedding. It's beautiful. God created humans to want relationships. We don't just chose a mate and get on with it. We spend time around each other first. Get to know each other. Pray about it. Then for girls... We wait until the guy pops the big question. And then the planning begins. But if you think about it. The whole things is crazy awesome. And not just because I'm a girl who likes weddings. We want love and we think about love. And God uses Earthly marriage to give us a taste of His love for us. He gave us a picture of what relationship we will one day have with Him. God made us so unique to other creatures.

5. Babies amaze me the most. Really. There is so much going on inside a baby. Connections in their brains working. Bones growing. Joints forming. The start of speech. Little laughs. Little smiles. Little fingers. Little toes. They all grow. They change. And we have nothing to do about it. The best thing is. God created them. God loves them. God knows their entire life story before they are even born. Babies are full of potential. They literally are the future. That is crazy to me. Something else crazy... The formation of life. It blows my mind to think about how God knit us together in our mothers wombs. He knows the hairs of our head. From day one God has been drawing us to Him. Trying to win our hearts. And it all starts as a baby. One last thing. They are adorable. And, in my opinion, the most beautiful thing created by God.
