\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019m about to tell you something you may find hard to believe. You don\u2019t have to agree with me, but I\u2019d like you to consider it with me. Here it is: if you were the only person on earth, the earth would look exactly the same. The Himalayas would still have their drama and the Caribbean its charm.\u00a0The sun would still nestle behind the Rockies in the evenings and spray light on the desert in the mornings.<\/p>\n

If you were the sole pilgrim on this globe, God would not diminish its beauty one degree.<\/p>\n

Because he did it all for you. And he\u2019s waiting for you to discover his gift, for your eyes to pop, your heart to stop. He\u2019s waiting for the moment between the dropping of the jaw and the leap of the heart. For in that silence he whispers, \u201cI did it just for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
