Dear Friends,

A few years ago I was outside looking at the stars and my as I thought about it I realised how big and amazing God must be to have created all of that. Then my thoughts turned to myself, and I began to feel small and insignificant compared to all that exists. I felt like one tiny ant.

In my home in Mount Morgan I have an occaisonal problem with ants, and usually I try to poison them or put food outside in locations to try to attract them other places than my kitchen. Its been a fairly futile problem. Needless to say that in all of that, I don't exactly have any fond feelings toward ants.

I wondered, if God made everything there is, and it is so big, why would He be interested in something as small and insignificant as me.....or any human being for that matter. Yet the Bible is very clear that God not only does take an interest, but that He loves us deeply and cares for us more than we could imagine.

Imagine that you actually owned an ant farm and you had a heap of pet ants. You deeply loved the pet ants and wanted to somehow tell them that you liked them, but being ants, they are way to thick to be able to realise. I guess that must be God's frustration becuase we never seem to be able to figure out that He actually really does love us. Our concept of His love is pretty vague.

And that is the reason why He decided to become a human being in the form of Jesus Christ and come to earth to actually convey his love to us through his words and actions.

So next time you are wondering about how important you are to God, or if He really does love you, remember this: God actually became a human being the same as us, so He could live the same way we did and bring us the message that we are loved. In a nutshell.....God also became a tiny little ant so that we could know how loved we are.

Have a marvellous week
Bless you stacks
David
