worlds apart
i've often wondered how God can hear each of our prayers, and answer accordingly, balancing out pleas with petitions and praise?
how can he say yes to the farmer needing rain, and yes to the farmer needing sunshine -- both of whom are merely miles apart?
then the thought occurred... in our finite understanding, we see one world. in his infinite genius, he sees millions of worlds. so in the 7 days of creation, he may have created the earth... and yet for him, that implied one world per person.
which would mean that when he sent his son to die for "the world," he sent his son to die for me in particular. Jesus died to save my world. and yours.
Him and us alone, bumping into other people's planets. He is the creator of millions of little worlds, orchestrating an intimate connection with every single one. praise Him.

Profound and insightful... I heard somewhere that scientists figure our universe has potentially at least 9 dimensions, not just 3 (L, W, H). Why not millions and billions? God is great!
perhaps, though, the beauty of God's creation is in the redemption of the crashing worlds. perhaps when we're with Him we'll realize that it never was our world at all, it was always His world. single and perfect. and because we've been made His child, we'd have it no other way.
