Omnipotent, part 2

"By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth." Psalms 33:6
Universes

galaxies, 

stars, 

planets,

and nebula;
these are made from air. 

What extraordinary things God can do with his breath!   In creating these He was not diminished in energy, ideas, or ability.   When He counted the cost there was none.  Jesus ended creation with as much vitality as when He began. Nothing changed for Him personally.

But Omnipotence has been changed.  The cost of saving me has had eternal consequences.  He has scars that remain.  Scars in His heart and on His body.  Yet, it is a conundrum.  Like a helix the idea swings from one side to another.  How can omnipotence be diminished if it has all power?  How can a being who has hidden outrageous atomic power in mass the size of a paper clip, loose something?

Again, amounts and realities that I cannot understand, but I do know this:  God loved me so much that He was willing to be eternally less than what He is.  "Being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Philippians 2:8
