How do you feel when God compares us to grasshoppers?

Isaiah 40:22 There is ONE who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, the dwellers in which are AS grasshoppers,..

I feel like mankind is easily squishable to HIM, but glad he wants to keep the loyal grasshoppers.

Matthew 17:34 I tell you, In that night two will be in one bed; the one will be taken along, but the other abandoned.

    If you want a comparison then think of how far above an amoeba we are, and then realize that this is only a pale reflection of how far God is above us, we are indeed grasshoppers, but God loves us and that`s what matters.

    God bless.

    We have the capacity of emotions which God seen as necessary for man in creation. We have various emotions and focusing on sadness if we think about it, it is related to love. If we did not feel sadness, it would mean nothing if someone you love went away. Therefore how could you really love them. Do you see what I mean? God has a plan to make us never feel sad. Until that happens in the future, we have to deal with this problem. It was not God's plan to make things happen this way. At the start before the original sin, we were meant to live forever with no death, sickness or any of the other problems we suffer. As you know I am JW and this is what we believe.

    Stfu with this "I'm saved" bullshit

    There is always a chance that your religion is right, as with all of them. But the chance of that happening is 1 in a million!

    I am Wiccan. There is a chance that my religion is false too. Actually, scince it was created by Gerald Gardener, just another pagan, there's a whole shitload of chance it's fake.

    I have faith in what I believe, but I don't run around saying:

    'I'm saved! I believe in thrice the godess and the horned god! The sun and the moon have saved me! I can turn you into a toad, OMG!"

    (no, the toad thing was a lie, I can admit that'd be pretty sick though...)

    Everyone has their own religion, don't attempt to convert anyone. If your religion is right, then the god shall show himself oneday and prove us all, and light a path our way.

    For the meantime, let everyone be themselves.

    Good day my sister. I am happy for having answered my question. If it allows me I will add to you as friend.

    Men, especially the opposites the God, are as grasshoppers of the point of view of Jehovah and in relation to Its largeness. Mateus 17:34? …. it only has until ´o 27

    Isaiah said it and God did not correct him.

    So, I'm fine with it.

    He could have described us as something worse and God still may not have corrected him.

    EDIT : forgot to leave a star !

    I was answering a JW E-Mail.
