Surely it is not intelligent to believe that there can be " Someone, A God, who really personally cares about me and every other speck like me. Our intellect may say it is impossible, yet something within us, call it our soul if you wish, reaches beyond our intelligence to that Something More. It yearns and stretches until it finally breaks through to belief with a mighty resounding, "Yes". The only explanation is "I know because I know." In answer to the question ota how it is possible that an' infinite God, busy with all creation, can find time for us, Dr. Walter Russell, jamous sculptor ` and philosopher, said, "The trouble is that your infinite God is not in- finite enough. If He is really infinite, He can dispatch the affairs of this universe in the twinkling of an eye, and then have all the time in the world. for you." Imagine . . . God is like that! We do not have to define our own worth. We may feel and look like specks, but God defines our worth not by how great or how small we are, nor by the size of our pay cheques, nor by our position in the world but by how He beholds us in His eyes. And He does not look at us from some lofty place like the C.N. Tower. He walks with us and beside us where He sees our true height and potential. He loves us so much He sent His son, Jesus, to tell us about this love. He says, "I have ,called you by name . , , I know you so well even the hairs on your head are numbered ... I will never forsake you nor leave you." No, we are not worthless specks in the eyes of God.
