It is not I who have the small mind. The universe can be (IS) vast, almost beyond human comprehension, and yet I am still God’s special creation. I’m also a dyed-in-the-wool Missouri Synod Lutheran, and this is one of my favorite tunes:

(Not exactly “typical Lutheran” fare, but it gets a good point across!)
As for this discussion, what’s next? Are you going to deny there are presently ~7,632,819,325 humans on Earth? Does that “vast” number (it’s pretty big!!) somehow limit how God sees me, or you? Am I less special to God than a person was when humans numbered only a few? How can I be “special” in God’s eyes out of nearly 8 billion humans?
The answer: God transcends time, numbers, and space. God’s relationship to me is unchanged, regardless of how big the Universe is...
Interesting question.

Does not come close to a billion.
(I know that some have move than 100000.)
No intention to offend you. I am simply professing the Gospel and praying that a few more might be saved.
Some of our lost brothers and sisters do not see as you do. They need a word of encouragement.
Blessings to you and your loved ones,
