A Grain of Sand


                “Lord, what is it like where You are right now? I know there is no time in a linear sense for You so I guess where You are is really everywhere and in all the time: past, present and future. It is so hard to comprehend You, and yet at times, we are so silly thinking we know so much or that science has given us answers. Science is the gift You gave us of an organized method to attempt to understand You and all Your ways. But really, it’s only giving us a fragmented view of You, like looking through a mesh or a net – only little flecks of truth filter through for us to contemplate.
                “So what is it like for You? You see all humanity from Adam and Eve to the very end all at once. You see the development, the progress and the fall of man You created. You know when and how we all will succeed and fail, and You know when we will return to You. Each of our lives on earth is just a brief fleeting moment in the entire pulsing eternity You have created. We come, we go, and others come and go, all contributing to this living creation of Yours, eventually becoming part of the eternal side. I am trying to wrap my head around this concept that You see the whole picture right now. You see it all in one breath. I feel so small and insignificant, just a grain of sand in this whole living universe. You are like the vast ocean to me and I am just a grain of sand.
                “And yet, You can focus all Your attention and love on this one little grain of sand. You know everything about my tiny little self and You love this little tiny grain of sand more than I can love anything in the world. You love every little grain of sand You created and You know its place – its past, present and future- and You have prepared just the perfect place for each and every one of us grains of sand.
                “I am so humbled and awed in trying to contemplate You and what it is like where You are and what it is like to be You. I am overwhelmed and grateful to be just a grain of sand in Your eternal creation.”
