How big is your God? It’s difficult for people on Earth to grasp the width, depth, complexity or immensity of any part of God’s nature. But four-year-old Colton Burpo is an exception.

Though you do not now see him, you believe in him.

I Peter 1:8

Colton was rushed into emergency surgery due to a ruptured appendix. The infection still raged, requiring another surgery. Four days after the second surgery, the Burpos’ church gathered to pray for Colton. The doctor was speechless. Within 12 hours, Colton was skipping down the hall of the hospital. One nurse said, “There has to be a God because this is a miracle!”

Soon Colton revealed that during the surgery he went to Heaven and sat in Jesus’ lap. In Heaven, Colton said he met his miscarried sister whom he was never told about, and his great-grandfather who died 30 years before he was born. One day, Colton told his dad, “God is the biggest one there is. And He really, really loves us, Dad, you can’t belieeeeve how much He loves us!”

The Creator of the Universe wants you to know Him intimately. Spend time daily reading God’s Word and meditating on His incredible love for you. Pray also for the nation’s leaders to discover God’s limitless love for them.
