IT'S A SMALL WORLD!

One of these days just take at look up and examine the expanse of the sky.
God is wilder than our wildest imaginations and greater than anything we could ever think of. He made things surrounding us that we can't even begin to describe.
Like Lou Giglio says, day after day and night after night the heavens are our billboard about God. The heavens show us two things: 1. How huge God is; and 2. How really, really, really tiny we are!" scientists tell us there are billons of galaxies beyond ours--again showing us how huge God is and how tiny we are. It's amazing how much we can see with our eyes just by looking up at the sky with scopes.

Speaking of eyes -- I like what Ray Comfort has written in the "Curved Illusion" at http://www.livingwaters.com:
... imagine if you were offered $1,000,000 for an eye for the purpose of eye transplants. It could be taken out painlessly, and you would be given a new glass eye which will look as good as your other eye, but it just won't look as good as your other eye. Would you sell an eye for $1,000,000? How about both for $20,000,000? No one in his right mind would. Your eyes are priceless, yet they are merely the windows of your soul. Jesus said that your eyes are worth nothing, when compared to the value of your soul -- "If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you, for it is better to enter Heaven without an eye than to go to Hell with both eyes" (Matt 18:9).
He asked, "What shall man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matt. 16:26) There is nothing as important as your salvation. Here's what to do: Judge yourself by the Ten Commandments -- Have you lied (even once), stolen (value is irrelevant), committed adultery (Jesus said, "Whosoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" Matt. 5:28), killed (hatred is considered murder by God -- 1 John 3:15), have you loved God above all else? Be honest. On Judgment Day you know you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. Today, repent (confess and turn from your sin) and trust in Jesus Christ. He died on the cross to take our punishment, and then He rose from the dead. He showed how much God loves us. Then read the Bible daily, obey what you read -- God will never fail you.

Oh the wonderful grace of our God. That the same God who showed us such power in creating a universe bigger than what we can possibly imagine is the same God who chose to bring forgiveness to us by sending his son, Jesus, to earth as a servant to die for our sins. Not forsaking you nor me.
