Size

              Have you ever thought of how little we are compared to Mount Everset? How helpless you are compared to that immovable mountain? How no matter how hard you try, you cannot reach the top? Becasue of how small we are. How tired we get. We are like that compared to God. I was at youth about two weeks ago, and we watched a video for devothions, and the speaker was talking about our size compared to God. You would not believe how small we actually are. He was using four of the largest stars to help with his illustration. The first star was big, you could still see the earth. It was really small compatred to that star. If the earth were a golfall, the guy said, you could fit I don't know how thousadns of eaths inside...that star. But when he came to the last star. The greatest most humungus star, you could fit, I believe 13 katrillion earths...inside that star!!!! Okay, now that you have that image in your head, compare yourself to God, who is more than three times that size! You can't even see the earth, let alone us humans! Yet God loves us selfish, sinning, ants! When I think about how selfish I can be when I pray..."Lord, keep us safe today, Lord, help me to achieve my goals this weekend, Lord, let me have horses one day." How dare we ask for such selfish requests! He's God! He created us. We are so small in comparison, we are smaller than ants, yet we ask so much of God, who can see us on this speck of dirt. Amazing. You know I probably wouldn't even have the patience with us ants. I'd kill all of you in an instant if you would dare come to me with such requests. Yet God is love, He's bigger than anything in this galaxy. He loves us selfish sinners. Though we run from Him, disobey Him, refuse to believe in Him...He loved us enough to kill His one and only Son, so that we might have that chance to live with Him. Can you imagine living with God? To be in his very presece?...Can you only imagine...
