Is God big enough to save me? Undo my childhood? Heal a broken me?

I often forget how big and incredible God is.
Incredible, as in, not credible, as in, cannot be believed.

It's hard for a small insignificant person to understand this. Like me.
Not that I'm insignificant compared to Bob or Bill or Mary or Anna.
That misses the point.

Insignificant in the grand scheme of things, in the bigger picture, in the wider context.
God is not only bigger than my exam, or my problem, or my whole life.
He is bigger than my life plus those of my friends, my family, my ancestors and descendants for generations before and after me. He is bigger than entire lives, businesses, empires, kingdoms, the whole earth.
This DVD provided me a lot of perspective. God is so much bigger than our tiny planet, than our tiny solar system, our tiny galaxy.

I cannot get my head around the thought, "Yet, despite, nonetheless, He loves me so much. Why?"
There are no words, sometimes. I think I need to be reminded very regularly what perspective is. God is more than the wish-granter, more than provider of my needs, more than saviour of the human race. The human race itself is insignificant in the bigger picture. I liked how Louie Giglio said all those breath-taking constellations and fearsome, unknowable structures out in space were simply to hang around and glorify God. That's amazing.
