A Beautiful Analogy

Today in church I heard an analogy that spoke to me. It was a simple, sweet way to capture an important principle.

The story was of a little boy who was going to the airport with his dad. As they neared the airport, he watched the planes fly overheard and noted how very small they looked.

He was astonished, when they arrived at the airport, to find how big the planes actually were. He was further amazed when his father explained to him that they were the same plane. Earlier he had been seeing it from far away, but now, up close, it looked so big.

Like the planes, the nearer we are to God, the bigger He is in our lives.

How big is He to you?
