What a good idea!
When Mark’s mother told him that everyone was an idea of God, made in His image and likeness, Mark said: “I don’t want to be an idea. I want to be a real boy that everyone can see!”
“But you are a real boy,” she said. “An idea isn’t the shadow of you. It’s what you are. As a child of God, you’re His good idea! I can see you, but I can’t see your honesty or the love you express or your friendliness and good humor. But I know they are there. I know they are a part of you.”
