That a sentient being from which all that is life comes, could find me even worth his attention is a phenomenon of vast proportions. That the magnitude of His greatness could in the same breath live amongst a lowly, mindless species that was on the verge of extinction by their own hands, (and sometime by his) is a mystery unlike any other. One that life and time alone would unravel!
The providence of a force this mighty has opened my eyes now and again at how insignificant I really am in light of His enormity, let alone his universe!
How so very small I am in light of other more significant parts of nature, the glowing stars, the raging sees, the suns’ life….. time and time again, I am very small.
And Yet, somehow, in the midst of life’s continuous flow, there is an over whelming sense of security and purpose that I ironically perceive, the smaller I realize I am.
A sense of belonging instead of loneliness, a sense of oneness with all that could seemingly obliterate the very core of my existence. A desire to participate in the sentient Deity’s plan to sustain life!
Yes, in spite of the reality of my insignificance, the truth of His magnitude and of his creation is more inviting than it is superior.
That the sentient, a Deity from of old could, in all his beauty and infallibility, be apart of the intricacies of my existence, is nothing short of a wonder… A miracle!
My mind is more open to the transcendence of knowledge about him. For with all my pride and vanity crushed at the onslaught of pure awesomeness, there is nothing left in my heart but adoration. I now, understand better, what Isaiah meant when he, in bated breath said, “Mine eye have seen the Lord”.
I know with all my heart that this is all our world needs. A healing, a touch a sound…
The World, broken and decadent, lost in all despair and hopelessness could yet again, out of the ashes of ruin, find its heart. The heart to belong and the mind to participate in the sustenance of life!
Through time, the signature of the sentient Deity has and will always be the insignificant you and me.
Eloquent Silences 
Not in the right frame of mind to read this…
An ache as old as time is, why couldn’t said deity answer the prayer of grieving parents or the breaking hearts of children…

I know! But the real question would be… “Did He really Not save them?” If he does see beyond time as we know it, then we begin to understand how things like death and suffering could play a bigger role in the deliverance and salvation of man kind! In part we know and in part we don’t! But its good to keep asking him. We will know fully! Some day!

Insignificant? I think not. In the light of creation, His plan, His purpose, His will, you and I are anything BUT insignificant. Whatever happened to Him knowing you before He formed you or being the apple of His eye? We are His very heartbeat, His pride and joy 🙂
The universe is our playing field. We are not lowly, we are not mindless, we are beautifully and wonderfully made, uniquely created to exude His glory. Even with the pride and vanity, which, by the way, He is big enough to handle, He loves me anyway and continues to avail grace.
Though I am small, I am the greatest and the most important of all His creation. I am man – made in His image, and I bare His name, His blood and picked up my cross! I make no apologies for this feeling of awesomeness because, what is a star compared to my design? What is the moon but a cold and empty landing compared to my being that is rich in emotion passion and DNA, to mention but a few things.
I have a role to play, even as 1 in a couple billion. I am important, I have a purpose, I affect life itself simply by existing. I occupy an very SIGNIFICANT amount of space in the universe, but most importantly in the minds and hearts of many – and more important than that, in the mind of the very One I serve.
So, no, I am far from insignificant. The universe is, because I am 🙂 and I am, because it is. [Interdependence]

Iteti, Mob jaz yes! 🙂 The insignificance I was referring to here isn’t the conclusion of the matter. But rather, It is a realization of how much more one can understand about his role in the universe. The insignificance is not to put me down, but a reaction of worship..to lift Him Up!. I am nothing compared to all this, and yet He has made me the center of it all. It puts me out of the self-image and on to His image! It is a reaction in humility. A sign of beholding perfect beauty and Strength. Insignificance in a way put me in my place. Like John, i say, Let Me decrease that He may increase!
