So great but so close

While I was praying yesterday, I began to think about everything God is and does. I began to think about how God has created all that he has. How he oversees and, well, just everything. Then I thought about myself. So small in comparison. So trivial, if you would. What would God, the God of the whole universe want with me. I don't know why this hit me so hard but it did. I really am not worthy. But I am so glad he took the time, paid the price for me. As I continued to pray, I began to think about everything God is to me. Not just my Savior, but also my friend. Not just my friend, but my father. Not just my father, but my provider. The list could go on and on. I think many times we don't fully realize or remember how great he really is. But he becomes just some sort of figure. He really is God. And if we can fully understand how close he wants to be to us, we can tap into some things we have never seen.
