I Am a faithful catholic but there is one question that bothered me for many years and I wish someone can give me good answer:
The universe is so vast that our planet is so small hardly recognizable in the huge universe. Yet God loves us human and cared if we sin. Why? God wants to give us an eternal life with him. My mind tells that we are so small in the universe God will have a hard time finding us let alone care if we sinned against him. Yet I believe that he is in my hart and I feel his presence.
Can someone help make the connection? Thank you
 
God is infinite in every sense of the word and therefore has absolutely no limitations. It is something that is beyond our human comprehension, and can never fully be understood by any of us. There comes a point where all it takes is faith.
 
God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. He also places humans as a special species that has dominion over all (earthly) others. There aren’t any limits to Him. With that being said, he knows everything you have ever done, everything you will ever do, and loves you more than any other being (as he is love in and of itself).

So God is entirely present in your house just as he is entirely present on planets and stars hundreds of lightyears away.

Try Christmas. He made a big connection there.
 
The account given in Genesis tells us much. All of creation was “good”. Then, He created man, and it was “very good”. Just think of this: God can control each of he most minute of details in an infinite number of universes simultaneously - forever.

I know this is about the faith but please allow a little science to intrude. actually we need a large universe for the universe to work the way it does. It has to do with the strength of the small particles and there attractive force. We need the great mass of the universe so the universe can function the was it does. So really he made the great big universe just so he could have an earth with you on it.
 
I once read a very good piece on this, sadly I don’t know who wrote it.

Anyway the main point of it was simply this. A God who is infinite and omnipotent would know the details of every atom, every spinning electron, every minor physical interaction throughout the universe, he would experience all of time at once and know the details of everything that has occurred, will occur, and is occurring. In such a universe the question isn’t how could God care about what is happening in some remote corner, but instead “How could he not?” If God cares enough to create a universe in the first place, set all the rules for it, and knows everything about even the smallest details of it’s operation then believing that he somehow would exclude humanity as a thing he would pay attention to or care about becomes rather silly.
 
If you had the power of God, with the omnipotent ability to create something,anything, & everything, including us, out of absolutely nothing, you too could & would remember ALL of your creation.
 
Things aren’t lovable because they are large, or beautiful because they are wide. Would a painting be less valuable in a larger room?
 
He made all of it for us. He took human form and died for us too. If you feel small and unimportant try thinking of God as a baby in Bethlehem.
