As I move deeper into middle age, I am often struck by the sheer mass of humanity. Today, unusually, I spent about two hours on the LA freeways. My commute to work most days is 15 minutes on surface streets. Whenever I have to face the freeways, my mind tends to wander, as I look at others in their cars on the freeway next to me. All the places they are going, the lives they lead. I think about the joys and struggles they must face - and it feels enormous. Too complex. How can God love all these people so personally? How is it possible?
My friend, Mark Roberts, had an interesting day today, and he writes about the seeming greatness of men, and the equality of God toward us all here. Amazing, isn't it?

I constantly lose sight of just how "equal" we all are in God's eyes - and what I mean is "equally LOVED." It's that whole "light shines on the just and unjust" thing from Ecclesiastes... it's very easy to lose sight of our Godly equality - certainly in the world - but also even among Christians - with so many "author celebrities" and "worship celebrities" around us, you can get lost in the shuffle... a great reminder!
