Conversations at 3 AM

What great love the Lord has for each of his creations! In pondering all of the Lord’s creations, man is easily be overtaken by his own insignificance. A comprehension of the greatness of God, and all that he is and does, lends itself to that.

8 And it came to pass that Moses looked, and beheld the world upon which he was created; and Moses beheld the world and the ends thereof, and all the children of men which are, and which were created; of the same he greatly marveled and wondered.

9 And the presence of God withdrew from Moses, that his glory was not upon Moses; and Moses was left unto himself. And as he was left unto himself, he fell unto the earth.

10 And it came to pass that it was for the space of many hours before Moses did again receive his natural strength like unto man; and he said unto himself: Now, for this cause I know that man is nothing, which thing I never had supposed.

37 And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying: The heavens, they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man; but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine.

38 And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof even so shall another come; and there is no end to my works, neither to my words. (Moses 1)

And then, the Lord says:

For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. (Moses 1:39)

What greater work can there be than making known the love of God to the children of men!
