so small, and yet...

This is amazing.

Read here to learn about what you are actually looking at in this picture. Then think about this: It was all made for you and for me. Sometimes I get in trouble for thinking that I'm "bigger" than I actually am. But most of the time (I think, at least) I believe myself to be very small and insignificant. As Moses learned in that wonderful account found in Moses 1, "man is nothing."

And yet. And yet...we are everything. The whole plan. Everything that has ever been or will that ever be...all of it. Made for us. As an inheritance. 

When I look at this picture and read about the incomprehensible vastness of God's creations, I feel tiny. Tiny is probably even too big of a word to describe it. Microscopic. But at the same time, and in the same thought, I feel loved. Known. Designed.

  2. I loved this, dad. I think about it sometimes when I look up at the sky and it blows my mind.
