"What is Love?"

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
- Genesis 1:1 (The Bible)

Now here's something to think about.

When you look up into the night sky, stars are everywhere. There's a whole universe of them... trillions upon trillions of stars, and all of them very much like the sun. And that universe out there has no end... no borders... no boundries. It's endless, vast, and entirely beyond comprehension.

Now, in our part of that immense universe sits the sun. To us, it's a huge ball of burning gas that sustains all life on earth. To the universe it's hardly even a tiny dot of light among many. And orbiting that tiny dot of light is an even smaller planet -- one million times smaller than that dot of light. And on that tiny pebble orbiting that tiny dot of light live over six BILLION people!

I am merely ONE of them.

But consider this, as small and insignificant as the earth and sun are in the massive scale of the universe, each and every day, the Creator of that massive universe chooses to walk by my side. He knows the number of hairs on my head. He knows everything about me in such detail that a biography would fill an entire library. And He loves me so much that He actually WANTS to walk beside me through life -- sometimes even carrying me through the rough times.

Now how utterly awesome is that! The Creator of this boundless universe actually chooses each one of us -- out of an incalculably large universe -- to know, love, and care for so personally that He hears us when we sigh... and knows what that sigh means.

Life may get you down sometimes. But just remember, no matter how utterly insignificant you may be in the physical universe, there's a God out there who has made you His entire world.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
- John 3:16 (The Bible)

What is love? God is. And there's no better example than that.

Have a wonderful new week everyone, and until next time,

Your happily blogging friend,
-Jon
