The following is a beautiful reflection written by a friend of our ministry, Carlos Zepeda, who serves with Dylan DeMarsico at Thrive church in Lathrop, California.Â

There is a specificity to Abba’s attentiveness
He is constantly looking at our decisions
Not in judgement
But in fascination
He knows us better than we know ourselves
He notices the decisions we make when we don’t know we’re making decisions
The minuscule sub conscious thought about which trash can I’m going to throw my coffee into
Deciding whether or not to bite the nail of my left or right thumb
The random urge to place my hand on the head of every child I come across
When I try to make two steps in every square of the sidewalk
Hoping it is like that every time, but knowing it might become three or one step
The intricate details of our lives that to us seem so small
To him, they’re everything
The uniqueness of my fingerprint is a reminder that I was made by someone who desired to show the world how beautifully he sees me
To be made simply to receive love
His love
To receive His fascination and attention
The Abba I know is the one of the highest degree of intentionality, not only does he love to get to know me by my words, but by observing, with joy that he made something so pure.
