Sometimes it takes
being overwhelmed by something so large to feel small. As I sit on a large ship and look out the
window at a body of water that surrounds me on all sides I am completely
overtaken with the thought that I am really small compared to the vastness of
the ocean. And yet as completely
helpless as that makes me I can't help but draw a comparison to my God. How great He is makes it ok that I am so
small. It makes me breathe easier. Our society is fixated on making ourselves
feel bigger than we really are. We live
in the generation of the "selfie" and find our self worth often times
in how many facebook likes, twitter retweets or instagram followers we
have. We are self obsessed. Sometimes it takes unplugging and getting
alone with God to find our true self worth.
The self-worth that is possessed in knowing the universe does not
revolve around us. Trust me, I am guilty
of acting and thinking this way far to often.
But honestly, I realize more and more daily that I was placed on this
earth as a small part of God's story.
It's finding my role and loving the people around me that makes being
small so worth it because the big details, the stuff that I can't even
comprehend nor do I want to are taken care of by my BIG God. There is freedom in being small.
