be too small

I know but little 
   of God…
I see His   creation
it’s breathtaking   awe
   striking   for its beauty
   its complexity
its unfathomable intricacy.

But my knowing be   as nothing,
   smaller than   a nanoparticle,
but a whiff understand
   of God

I be   too small
and God 
so   unimaginably   vast.

It is true the enormity of God is, sometimes, overwhelming yet awe inspiring. I believe, and have learned, that God's spirit is just as interested in the small, minute details - the nano-particles and the space in-between. The universe doesn't end with the blackness of space - there is another universe within us. So God is closer to us than we ever dare to imagine :) I love this poetic thought and your beautiful words, Sarah!

Thank you Sam! And I agree that we have a universe of God within us. I have heard that God lives us, and of course, if He didn't, we wouldn't be at all. It is an encouraging thought in the lonely times.

Agreed. God is bigger than our human thoughts!
