"He must increase, but I must decrease," John 3:30
"Don't I often desperately want to wriggle free of the confines of a small life?
Is this too, why I am often joy starved?"
Doing laundry, paying bills, scrubbing toilets, or sitting in car line....
are these trivial matters? Do they really count in the scheme of things?
Does anyone notice my faithfulness in the little things?
Am I just living to get noticed? Or do I truly desire to get God noticed?
Do I notice Him? His amazing work is all around me.
Who has eyes to notice or time to see?
"The quiet song of gratitude, lures humility out of the shadows
because to receive a gift the knees must bend humble
and the hand must lie vulnerably open
and the hand must lie vulnerably open
and the will must bow to accept
whatever the Giver chooses to give," Ann Voskamp.
"Because God needs knees more than hands"...something to think about...
"How much larger your life would be if your self could become smaller in it," G.K. Chesterton.
