God? -- One

Faith in God creates a double-minded reality for me.  I think, on the one hand, God is interested in every human, is interested in me, and relates to me personally.

Then, on the other hand, I think of the immense universe in which we live, where we are relatively tinier than the smallest amoeba on the planet in size comparison to the universe.  I think of the Being who/which brought this universe into reality and the possibility that other universes even bigger have also been created.  How can this Being, God, want to relate to me, or you?

Double-minded, for sure.

Then the thought comes to me of a mega farmer.  She/he strategizes, watches the futures markets, decides what to grow, sets plows to work, fencers to repair fences, tenders to care for animals being born, and personally works from before dawn to well after dark.

Coming in he greets his dog by name, she picks up a child and asks how school was, and enters into one personal relationship after another.

Big.  Small.  If a farmer can pull that off, maybe the Creator can also relate to you and to me personally.

What do you think?  Leave a comment and let us know.
