Creation

Perspective is always key when one looks at our existence and our significance therein. Big questions like "why does God love me?" need to be asked and pondered but a definitive answer may never be found. Just looking at the way in which we exist boggles the mind. Asking why things are is important, but it is also important to attempt to understand how we came to be.

So God decided to make the universe, and with it came an understanding of the infinite. But really, we don't know if it's infinite or not, it is however, really really big. This idea of the infinite is significant in itself because it helps us understand the omnipresence of God.  And with this vast universe he created billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and many of these with planets like our solar systems eight (used to be nine), and those planets have moons and other orbiting objects as well. And that brings us to earth, God decided that for our existence, it would be a spec in the vastness of space, and this spec would spin around itself and revolve around the sun.

So you and me, we are really really small. Our planet is really small, and our sun is one of billions of other suns in our galaxy that is one of billions of other galaxies that spread throughout our universe, and who knows, their may be more universes as well. Small we may be in size, but insignificant in God's eyes, not a chance.
