It seems almost contradictory. In the scheme of the world, we are but a vapor...so small in the number of minutes we are here, so small in comparison to the universe as a whole. AND YET, we matter. He knows each star by name. He knows every hair on our head, every minute, every thought, every word before we speak it.
That is how big God is. Unfathomable in His understanding and love for us. It is not contradictory at all, but it can feel overwhelming...so you stand in awe. You look up at the stars and can see the beginning of His glory and know that in all of it, you are part of His story. You spend time trying to wrap your mind around the glorious riches of His love and know that now we understand in part, then we will understand in full when we see Him face to face and fall down on our knees. It feels overwhelming but there is peace in knowing Him.
Ephesians 3:14-19, "For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know that this love surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
