Creator King

It wasn't the first time that i saw the "Indescribable" presentation by Louie giglio (PAstor and founder of Passion , a ministry to proclaim God in College campuses, he is also in charge of the record label that Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman are under.)
Ministry to young people! woohoo!

In the presentation, He showed many images of pictures taken by NASA.


Beautiful image of earth taken by the Apollo 17 Space mission



The Solar system where earth is


The Milky Way, our home galaxy! can't really see where we are. The solar system belongs in this galaxy and it can't even be seen..The milky way is home to dunno how many billion stars and the milky way is only 1 of the MANY galaxies in the Universe leh!! sars!!


Whirlpool Galaxy , another massive galaxy in the Universe

These are just a few of the images that was shown, as i begin to see the images, it just made me marvel at how great God is!
the following picture just blew me away la..One of the space shuttle missions were instructed to take a panoramic view of the Universe. That shuttle took 60 shots consecutively each picture was 640,000 megapixels. Our good cameras only take the most 10 Megapixels? each shot took 5 and 1/2 hrs to be sent back to earth. and this is what the shuttle captured.


Can u believe it? this is what it captured and guess what the Pale blue Dot is...
ITS EARTH LEH! i was like..OH MY GOODNESS..

I was really like floored man. I didn't get shocked because of "wah liao so empty ah..nothing to see one." I was shocked as i began to see how big and vast the Universe was and how small earth is, and if earth is so small, we human beings are even smaller!!! It really put the verse below into perspective.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? (Psalm 8:3-4)

How great God is and how small we are..Not even a speck of dust.But God made each of us, called us by name, planned our lives for us, desires to have a relationship with us, Gave his ONLY son to die for our sins. why? Simply because he loves us.

I just bawled my eyes after the presentation was finished.
Felt unworthy of him, undeserving of his grace and mercy.
HOw can la God, you can just blot us out anytime.
But he didn't..
I guess i probably didn't know how GREAT GREAT God is till now..



But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(Romans 5:8)

Before i knew him, he already died for me.
Guess wat? He died for you too.
The one who set the planets , galaxies and the whole universe in place is in hot pursuit of us, he wants to know you :)
