We are not small in God's eyes

Arrangements were made for me to fly a plane and God spoke and said, "When you're in the air listen to my voice for I will speak to you. " Towards the end of the flight God spoke.
"Look down below. (I looked) Look at all my creation and everything below. What you see is all small to me, compared to how big and great you are in my eyes."
What you see as you look around below and high is my creation of all I created, but nothing compares to how special and big you are to me. That is how much you mean to me."
He showed me the depth and the width of that love is the same love for the world that he has.
I started thinking how much it amazed me. I thought that of the love he showed me of how big and great it is and how it stretches miles and miles is that type of love he showed on the cross for us all.
He was mocked, laughed at, and rejected. He had a crown of thorns on his head and blood and water flowed yet he said, "Father forgive them they know not what they do."
Before when I was flying the instructor told me after being so high up to take the wheel and he's letting go.
When I was actually flying I started to panic and said to him, "no you take it and fly, I can't do it." He said, "Yes you can now fly it."
God illustrated so much by showing me later that he is like that. He is the controller and the instructor there to instruct all I am to do.
He will not leave me but stand beside me and will protect me and not let anything happen to me.
The turbulence started bothering me sometime later and he spoke again, "there will be times like the turbulence that things will be rough but even during those times I am here and will stand beside you."
The instructor did a G-force turn. It gave me a rush and was so enjoyable, I told him to do it again and he did.
God showed me that he wants to take me for a ride and to experience things with him and by allowing it that it would be the time of my life and something I would want more of.
He is willing to give and give abundantly and freely, just let him be in control. He will give me things but to follow his will and let him control it. He will lead the way.
I believe not only for me but the people in this world that he is such a big God and his love is amazing. We are not small in his eyes but, great, and special.

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Richard, Thanks for your inspiring words. God speaks to you in the air; he speaks to me in the same manner when I plant a tiny seed and watch it grow. The bees never bother me, the butterflies let me hold them, and the robins come close as I dig up the worms. I am in awe of His Wonder!
