We are not alone

The God whom I believe in and trust in is more than capable to perform that which He has designed for me.

My God loves me. Wow, what a thought. Kinda mind-blowing (forgive me, I loved the 70s). That I, so infinitely small in the grand scheme of an infinite universe would be the object of His attention and love. At times, one wonders about the vastness of space and the questions raised by curious thinkers about the existence of other beings, creatures, inhabited planets, intelligence other than the human race on the 3rd rock from the sun. How could we possibly believe that we are alone?

Personally, I believe we’re not alone. Our Creator God is here. After living here for over half a century, I’ve seen stuff. Been through stuff. Had stuff happen to me. And in all this I have never been abandoned by Him. I have found Him faithful, consistent, loving.

I have seen glimpses of His omnipotence, omniscience and felt His presence in the darkest of days. A hand to hold me, arms to comfort me, words to soothe me and hope to lift me.

Think about it. Would not the ultimate expression of Great Love be; that after creating such a fantastic and vast universe with all its planets, stars and things we haven’t even imagined yet, and then creating such diversity of life on this planet down to the most minute detail, that He would create a creature that He could reveal His love to. That this God created only one planet with life on it, mirrors the incredible love He has demonstrated in His Son’s atoning death for us. We are the focus of His attention. Just as an artist uses a sea of black to contrast a single white dot, so does God draw attention to His love for us. And when He says “Do not be afraid,” and “I love you.” There’s something there to back it up. He’s proved it throughout creation and throughout history…and He’s ready to prove it today. Right now.
