that you be made complete

Skipping the usual from this morn for a reason -- didn't listen. Rather than post an empty message, I'd rather report on an other more real. In this case, a reaction to a quick clip discussing the whole story. Here's the rephrase for those with eyes not trained to the big screen:

The story, your story, does not begin with the fall. Yours is a complete story that doesn't start in darkness -- not in Gen3 but Gen1. And in Gen1, you are a creation, a creation as wondrous as the creation with the capital. You are, in fact, even more wondrous, as you are in the image of God.

That is the start of the story, that you were made in wonder with wonder set before you. The darkness and then eventual light is part of the story that is you. The light is the best part of the story, don't get me wrong. But it is not the whole story. Being fed by the liar to think that the darkness and the nondeserving light is all you are grossly robs you of your full value.
