To realise that we ourselves are nothing - dust and ashes as Abraham said - is to truly know our place in the Universe.

God guides and provides for us in every possible way. He desires that we have an abundant life, characterised by love, joy, and peace.

We are safe in His hands.

What we must remember is that the only reason we are Christians is because he chose to show us grace and mercy, from before the beginning of time.

We are His creation, to do with as He pleases.

The amazing life He gives us is in order that Jesus Christ is glorified.

We are, if you like, living advertisements for life in the Kingdom of God.

In this way, God desires to win more into His Kingdom; because people see in us what is lacking in them.
