Something to ponder

If you were to look at the earth from afar, what would you see? Remarkably thin ozone layer with polluted skies and darker rivers and buildings that go higher and higher?

If you could see spirits, both good and evil, what would you see? Evil spirits filling the earth, tempting every victim they can find, while the good spirits stay in churches and guide missionaries?

If you could see human hearts, what would you see? Blackened hearts all over the world, with a few pure ones shining like stars in the midst of the darkness?



If you could see God's love, mercy and grace, what would you see? Filling the whole universe?

Do we realise how small we are?

We are roughly 0.0017 km tall.
The Earth is roughly 40041.47 km wide.
The Milky Way is roughly 946 100 000 000 000 000 km wide.
The nearest galaxy from us is roughly 23 652 500 000 000 000 000 km away.
The observable matter of the universe is roughly at least 879 873 000 000 000 000 000 000 km across.
The universe is probably infinite.

We make up roughly 0.000000000000000000000000002% of the observable matter of the universe. Can't imagine how small we are? We are a like an electron in 6 times the distance from the Sun to Pluto!

So who are we, that the God who formed the universe, should love and care for us?

After all, if the world was to vanish, He'll only lose 0.0000000000000000045% of the observable matter of the universe.

So why then, does the God of the universe, say in John 3:16 that He loved the world until he gave His One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life?

He calls us His children, even though we are sinners. That's like calling an electron in an atom of a molecule of a harmful bacteria your child. Can we match His love for us?

We have been made a "spectacle in the whole universe" (1 Corinthians 4:9). So what are riches, popularity and good deeds in God's eyes?

Are we selfish and self-centered, thinking we are bigger than God's creations? Are we even serious about God? We are so worthless, but He made us worthy.

We are nothing but just a speck of dust. After all, we were made from dust.

Do we realise how small we are? More importantly, do we realise the extent of God's love?
