My stamp or origin is within you. Look at the animals. Many of you are drawn to them. You are full of tender care for them, because you recognize they have a measure of innocence, beauty, and freedom from darkness. You desire to protect them and their freedom. You identify with the various animals, because I made you with those qualities. After you were born, the darkness and stains of sin slowly crept upon you, like the shadows increase slowly upon the land at the end of the day. Before you know it, your innocence and inner glow are gone. Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Romans 1:19 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.… Psalm 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be. Isaiah 1:18 Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
