Have you ever had the stars preach to you? One night I was looking up at the stars and started thinking of how small the Earth is compared to the universe, how little America is to the world, And how tiny are state is. Then how many people are in the world, and how small of a portion of Christians there are in Colorado compared to the Earth.
It made me feel very little. I am only a speck of dirt compared to all the people in the world. Yet Jesus came to die to take away all my sins IF I EXCEPT IT. And almost everything I ask for (as long as it lines up with the Word) He gives to me! For example: about two years ago my family and I were at the Buildings 4 Babies Ranch, David had gotten me a necklace for Christmas and I had put it in my suitcase. One morning I had gone to put it on and it wasn’t there! I looked all over in my suitcase, all over the house, and everywhere I could think of. Next I asked all my siblings if they had seen it but none of them had. I decided to ask God to help me find it before we needed to leave to go Colorado again. The night before we left I pulled out my suitcase to pack and there it was dangling from my suitcase!!! So I went and asked my siblings if they found it and put it there, put none of them had! I’m still not sure how it got there, but all I know is that God as answered my prayer. As long as it is according to Gods will he’ll answer yours too.
From down here the stars look very small, and to you my testimony may seem small, but when it happens to you it is just as big as the real size. Every time you get a new sibling, friend, or miracle it’s like adding a new star to your collection.
No matter how small you are compared to the rest of the world God still cares for you. Sometimes God can use nature to preach to us some of the best messages. Dios las bendiga! God bless you.
