There is a plus side to all that overwhelming data. The God who created and sustains our star-studded cosmos in its incomprehensible vastness loves us. And He doesn’t just love the human race as an entity of multiplied billions. He loves us individually. What Paul exclaims to be true about himself is true about each of us in all our insignificance: Christ “loved me and gave Himself for me” (Gal. 2:20).
Astronomically, we are insignificant. But we are the beloved objects of God’s care. While we have no reason for pride, we are inexpressibly grateful to the Lord whose love for us personally is revealed at Calvary’s cross.
If you are feeling unloved, insignificant, or alone...take these words to heart. God made the whole universe...and knows EXACTLY how many hairs are on your head. He sees every tear...listens to every prayer...understands and cares about YOU. Specifically you. Don't live a defeated Wednesday....take comfort in knowing that God has you in mind. Right now. You aren't alone...and you matter.

Awesome our God is Awesome.
This simple yet amazing truth makes me want to pray for for all those who don't know Christ personally and to celebrate with my family in Christ. I didn't know Him a year ago, but He knew that a part of me was seeking Him. After I had accepted His gift of salvation, I wanted to know more about Him. I began to wonder what the words "personal relationship with Christ" meant. I asked a couple of people at frc that I was developing personal relationships with, but I just didn't get it. Finaly, out of frustration I asked Him, and true to His word, He answered . . . personaly.
