Our Package

Ever noticed how your body works? Stretch your arm, move your fingers..noticed that delicate smooth movement of your fingers? Noticed how your fist clutches into a ball when you get angry? Above all, notice how your body movement work perfectly alongside with the signals sent by your brain cells? I marvel at His delicate creation. He's such a detailed Creator...If these visible, tangible functions marvel you, how about those unseen ones? Your protein strains that form DNA, your identity..Coagulation of strains that form bigger masses of cells that forms you as the final product. Ever wondered what you were made of inside?

I remember the movie "Robots" that I watched months ago. In that animated movie, these robots are made of parts assembled together. As they grow older, their parts have to be replaced by bigger pieces. New parts were presented to them as presents as they grow older. Like longer legs or bigger head. Things get even more interesting as they grow older. They tend to rust because they were made of metal. Unless they are rich enough to buy new original parts, they will just substitute them second hand-me downs. This option is better than to be laid waste and eventually be made into scrap metal.

Imagine you and me rusting as we age. How is that? We have to order our parts every now and then to replace them. Wow..I can't picture myself in that. I'm glad that we didn't have to. Our parts were made so perfectly, personally, exclusively for ourselves. There will be no second hand-me-downs or replacement parts. We were perfect since the day we were made, except that we were tainted by sin through Adam. But nonetheless, we will be prefectified some day.

However, if we really do need to have our parts replaced every now and then, which part would you replace? Hmnn..for me, I wished I could replace my heart with a brand new one. A bigger heart that would have place for more people and things. A squarer heart? Nah..that would me a square person. A rounder one, perhaps? Haha..Am I not round enough? Maybe an irregularly shaped heart with bigger surface area. One that has bends and dents to house small minte things..larger platonic surface for important matters. And finally caged and guarded in a strong rib cage for protection. Sacredly and fiercely protected.

I would probably have my legs replaced with longer ones. Then I would be taller to the expereince the feelings of being on higher ground than others. Something which I would never had the chance to taste. (Well, except I'm on heels but that wouldnt give me the grounded feelings) I would want to replace my brains too. I wish I had a simpler thinking mechanism. Not that I'm very smart now, but I wished I can look at the world with simpler view. I don't have to worry about thinking too much if that person has evil intention when he's being nice. I don't have to be on guard all the time. I can walk on the walkways without clutching my handbag tightly to my side. I can just cross the road on the zebra crossing with assurance that the speeding car will obey the red lights and stop. How nice, yeah? I wished everyone would think simple.

Simplicity..if only
