God loves us all in every way. It is mind blowing how vast he is that my mind cannot grasp who He is. He is everywhere (all at the same time), knows everything (nothing is new), everlasting (eternal) So, if there is nothing new, then he knew you and me before the creation of time, he knew where you would be born, what family you would have and your house number(s) throughout your entire life. He did not stand there and say, "Wow, John, I did not know that you would come along!" He already knew you. He is eternal and lives without time...wow...imagine that. He is everywhere all at once, he hears each and everyone's prayer, cry, joy, life, death, marriage, births, hugs, walks, he is there.
Once, I was very sad feeling a bit lost and discouraged and neglected because of the trials in my own life. Before I went to sleep I asked God if he still loved me. Then went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night, the hair on the back of my neck perked up, I woke up but could not move, I just laid there and opened my eyes (or so I thought) He opened my minds eye (I call it, like a vision) and I saw something like the enlarged necleus of an atom, energy bouncing all around, lights of many colors everywhere. The curtains of my window, the wall the room was like a serge of light bouncing and moving to the point that hard matter was not there, it did not exist.
And the Lord said with his humor, "Of course I love you, or you would see this all the time!" Whew, it all happened in a nano second, but seemed like a long time and that moment was too much for me to bare. Imagine a lifetime of that!
He is so funny and so faithful!
