I think that in the grand scheme of things, we are a lot smaller than we think we are.  We know and comment on how big and how great God is: how He created giant stars, distant galaxies, and the entirety of existence.  We praise Him for being beyond our comprehension and are thankful that we cannot fathom His immeasurable love and mercy.  But what about us?  

How big, or how small, are we?  We seem to never understand that, no matter how often we exclaim that God is omni-"everything" (I know it's redundant), we fail to admit how minuscule we are in comparison.  Like quoting something out of context, we have no reference point to gauge how big He is in comparison to us if we don't recognize just how small we are.  We don't afford ourselves the maximum benefit of such praise to our Father without admitting to Him that we are as small as He is big. seems to me that whenever I am totally in tune with what God is saying to me, I am not in the picture.  I offer up to Him everything that I was, am, and will be, giving my entire being away, just to be an inch, a millimeter closer to His right hand.  When I give myself freely to Him, He is free to give me His Self, the Holy Spirit.  I am a vessel of the Holy Spirit; nothing more than a shipping container holding precious cargo.  Just as we cannot stop the Earth from revolving around the sun, we cannot, as flesh, do anything for Him of our own sake.  

I am not saying that I am worthless or that God doesn't care about us.  He does!  That is why He allows us to draw close to Him in the first place.  I am only saying that we are merely fleshly, sinful obstacles to God's true purpose if WE are still trying to force our way into His throne room.  No matter how hard it is for us to say that we are ants and He is the Pacific Ocean, we should be grateful and honored that we are His.  If my only path to discovering the truth of His majesty is to become an amoeba, I am even more honored to be close to Him despite my status as a one-celled blob, because I am sitting at His feet - and that is better than anything else in this life.
