Mattering

I didn’t need a dog.

I love my dog

I created this for her.

My this, my home, my bed, my yard. They are not a special this when compared.

I know her adoration, her love for me.

And it is all I could ever want

He didn’t need to make me

He loves me

He created this for me.

My this, my home, my bed, my dog.

He can see my heart, my adoration.

And it is all that could matter.

Dear God,

When I wonder for what I was made, it wasn’t because I was needed. It was because I could have life. I could matter to you.
