It's Okay to Feel Small

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.
