that you give him so much attention,
that you examine him every morning
and test him every moment?
Will you never look away from me,
or let me alone even for an instant?
~Job 7:17-19
How often have I wondered exactly what Job has just voiced? Why does God love us? Why does God watch over us? Why does he care what we do? Does he love, watch, and care because he has to? No, I don't think God has to do anything.
*Sigh.* I don't get it. What makes me so important to God?? I mean, I screw things up, I don't listen, I hurt people... Why does God bother with me?
You know... Maybe he wants to. I mean, he created me and all. I guess I'd be pretty interested in my creation, too. It still seems pretty crazy that the Creator and Lord of everything would bother taking notice when I burn my fingers while straightening my hair, or when I get scared by a bug, or any other little thing.
And guess what? He cares that way about you too! And everyone, for that matter! Wow... My God is one big God. And I think he's stinking amazing, too.
