Who are We?

We sit on a small planet spinning around one of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.  Our Galaxy is one of an estimated 100 Billion Galaxies in the universe.  How insignificant are we humans who God created out of the dust.  Who are we compared to all the stars and planets in the Universe?

We members of this rebellious and sin riddled human race, are here today and gone tomorrow.  We are but a blip on the map of history and yet God does see us.  God knows your name.  God knows the number of hairs on your head.  God knows your every thought, your every word, your every pain and your every action.

God named every star that exist (Psalm 147:4) and he knows your name as well (John 10:3),  You are so important to God that He can not take His eyes off of you.  He created your inmost being.  You are fearfully and wonderfully made.  Planets, suns and galaxies are merely rocks and gas, but you were formed by the loving hands of God to be a unique and beautiful treasure of life. (Psalm 139)

We are who we are, and valued by God not because of anything we have done, but simply because of who God is.  God is Love.  Out of the love of God He has made you to be the apple of His eye.

Who are we?

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9
