It was looking up at the stars
that night
That stopped me from wanting
to take my life.
I looked up at them and was stunned.
Suddenly, I came
to the profound realization
that there must be
something greater than my problems.
That something was God.
It would take some time for me
to learn this,
but eventually I did; and now
I look up at night
and see the hope of humankind written
in the stars.
For He who has numbered the stars
and calls them each
by name, and cares also for the sparrows
cares for us the same.
Actually, His care for us is greater,
for the sake of His Son:
His life and death, His agony and pain
was such that His love
for the rest of creation is outweighed
compared to the love
He has for us.
