I am just one in over 7 billion people in this world. How is it possible that the Maker of this Universe could love little 'ol me? I'm nothing in comparison. I think of the life I live, and wonder why God would be so invested in it. There's nothing special about me. I'm just ordinary. But God... well He's extraordinary! So He would be crazy to involve himself in a life like mine... that's why bad things happen to me. Because God isn't there. He doesn't care... right?
Nope. He does care, and today was a much-needed reminder to myself of how much God loves me. I was simply reminded that God truly is involved in my life. Truth is, God loves me more than I can comprehend. He loves me more than the sparrows that Matthew 10 speaks of. Not one sparrow is taken out of God's care. Just look outside. Do you see the birds? Do you see how nothing is out of place? From sunrise to sunset, it's perfect. This organized beauty is a reminder that God is in control of this world... and of my small in comparison, but significant life.
He is the Creator of all things, including my not-so-great circumstances in my life. However, just like Creation is greater than the creation, He is greater than my circumstances. He is in control of my circumstances... In fact, He is using my circumstances to bring me closer to Him. God is invested in this life. He's working in my best interest because I am one in 7 billion. I'm THAT special to Him.
How great and awesome it is to serve a God like Ours. His undeniable love was shown on the cross over 2000 years ago. For me! For you. For each and every person on this earth, all 7 billion of them. For all of humanity throughout all of history. That same unfailing love is still here today... He's been there all along. Even when I don't feel like He's with me, I have faith that He is walking beside me always. I have faith that He loves me... little 'ol me. I see His love shown outside in the stars and sunshine. I see it in the beauty that comes from ashes. I see it in the hundreds of people that walk passed. I see it in His new mercies every morning. I see it in my circumstances. I see it in the sparrows.
