How Could God Know All of Us?
This is a conversation between Grandmaster Eric Kino and nineteen-year-old Jordan Brooks, his grandson’s girlfriend. She was counseling with him after a traumatic event in her life, and couldn’t understand how God could even keep track of His children, or how He could know her little insignificant self, a question we’ve all had at times. These are the words God gave me to answer the question. The way He explained it is so beautiful to me.
“So, let me go back to what you said a few minutes ago,” Eric began. “You seemed surprised that our Father in heaven knows who you are, that He knows about you.”
She nodded. “I mean, like, there are billions of people on the earth, right? And there were billions who have already died since the beginning of time. And I’m just one little person, how in the world could He even know I exist?”
Eric nodded. “It’s hard to wrap your brain around it, isn’t it? How could He know each of us? Well, He knows each and every one of His own children. He’s omniscient. He created everything. How He did that, we don’t understand yet. We have a veil over our minds in this world, but that veil gets thinner as we develop a real relationship with Him through prayer, and listening, and more prayer and more listening and don’t leave out obedience to His laws and commandments.”
When she frowned he went on. “Sometimes it helps to understand if we compare God’s kingdom to our own little kingdoms here on Earth.”
“What do you mean, our own little kingdoms? I have no kingdom,” she said with a laugh.
“Yes you do. Well, sort of. You see, what we have here is like a mini replica. There was Adam and Eve, and they created a family. And so forth through the ages. All the way down to our family. There was Ann and I, she’s my first wife.”
Jordan nodded, because she knew of Ann.
“And now there’s Shelley and I. And we have Ricky and Bree and Mark and Joey and Jeffy, and they all married and created young Eric and Taylor and JoJo and Em, and Phia, and Kel and Ledger, and Mark adopted Logan into his kingdom, and each of our children brought wives or husbands into the family, and Shelley and I now have five more lovely, amazing spirits, Nate, Noah, Abe, Angelina and Manny. Do I remember every single one of these people?”
"Well yes, of course.”
“I do, and I know them each personally, and I have a relationship with each of them. They are my little kingdom. My replica of God’s universe. When I was younger, I provided these people with a home, but then they ventured out, ‘into the world,’ and began to create their own world, their own homes, their own little kingdoms, yet still, they all belong to me. I care for them all. I won’t forget them. And if they ever need me, I’ll be there for them. The only way I wouldn’t, is if they turned their backs on me and didn’t want me in their lives anymore, which would make me very sad, because I love them so much, and I would do anything to help them. So, do you see how we can sort of begin to understand how God can love each and every one of us?”
Jordan nodded.
Eric went on. “So, not only does God know who you are, but He loves you, He wants you to have a relationship with Him and when you start to pray, and listen and pray and listen, you will begin to hear His voice. And Jordan, He has heard you pray, because he gave me a dream about you. He sent me to you, to help you. And I love doing God’s work, whatever He wants me to do, and talking to you, helping you, is a really awesome job, because I love you too.”
