as big as the universe

Most every night, for his entire life, when I put my (now four year old) son to bed, I tell him the same thing:

I love you as big as the whole world.

Once he is excited about just how much I love him, I continue:

God loves you as big as the universe.

I hug him. I kiss him. And he goes to sleep.
Honestly, I think this is perhaps the most important statement I will ever make. I think this is what everyone needs to hear. There may be more to say, but it is just not as important as this.
So this is where we start… God loves you as big as the universe.
