Overwhelmed...and happy about it?

I keep forgetting that God is as big as He is. He's more powerful than I ever knew.

God created the earth, sun, planets, stars, moons, and galaxies. Our earth is pretty big, but in comparison to the sun, it's small. The sun is pretty big, but in comparison to the milky way galaxy, it's small. The milky way galaxy is pretty big, but in comparison to the size of the universe composed of all the other galaxies, it's small.

If you doubt that God created this, what other explanation do you believe? Do you believe that the universe just exploded out of nowhere? To me, it takes a lot more faith to believe in that theory than in God. Who made the earth start spinning? Did you know that without the moon being perfectly in its spot, we would have serious issues with the ice caps, and therefore, earth would not be able to sustain life. How do you explain the vastness of our universe? How about the complexity? What about the details? On our earth alone, the attention to detail is incredible. Did you know that a caterpillar has 228 separate and distinct muscles in its head? That's an insane amount for a bug! What about the fact that the average elm tree has approximately 6 million leaves on it? I have met some pretty creative people, but I'm having trouble finding someone who can create a universe. That would definitely jump out on a resume though.

I'm overwhelmed with a relentless love for this God. God is amazing, and He loves you...just wanted you to remember that today.
