He Created the Universe and Us

b'The universe is so large, the stars so far away in the night sky, and\\nyet the same God who made the stars also made us.\\n.\\nWhen we start to doubt our worth or worry that there isn\\u2019t a reason for our\\nlives, we can consider the stars in the night sky\\u2026and the flowers in the\\nfield. In Matthew 6:26-33, Jesus says the flowers do nothing to become\\nbeautiful, and yet they are. God made them that way. They remind us that we\\ndon\\u2019t have to worry about anything, whether in this life or what is to\\ncome, because the same God who cares for the flowers will also take care of\\nus.\\n.\\nGod took the time to create everything in the universe, from the\\nfaraway galaxies to the flowers underfoot. He made all things good. He\\ncreated a beautiful world, and that includes us.\\n.\\nWhenever we start to wonder why we are here or what our purpose is, we can\\nturn to Him. He made us, and He does not make mistakes. Each of us is so\\nimmeasurably valuable to God. He showed how much we are worth to Him when\\nHe came to earth in human flesh to live and die for us. But death couldn\\u2019t\\nhold the loving Creator\\u2014Jesus rose from the grave! Each of us has life\\nbecause of Him\\u2014He is the author of life. And if we\\u2019ve put our trust in\\nJesus, we have the sure hope of eternal life with Him.\\n.\\nWhen we look to God, the Creator of the universe, we find out just\\nhow valuable we truly are. As we seek to follow Jesus with our lives, we\\ncan have peace in doing whatever He calls us to do. Any small task for Him\\nis a worthy cause. He made the stars in the vast night sky, He made the\\nflowers in the nearby fields, and He made us. \\u2022 Bethany Acker\\n.\\n\\u2022 How can looking at the things God has made remind us of our own worth and\\nvalue?\\n.\\n\\u2022 How might remembering that we are each created by God affect the way we\\ntreat one another? \\n.\\n\\u201cAnd if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers\\u2026he will certainly care\\nfor you.\\u201d Matthew 6:30a (NLT)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nPs.33.6|Matt.6.26-Matt.6.33'
