I feel small sometimes, Lord.
Small, in my place in the universe, small in the face of the inevitable march of time. Small, in the face of the vision you have given me. When younger, I thought I would grow
into it and it would feel less unwieldy to carry. But instead over time, it
feels bigger and I feel smaller still. My strength fades, my understanding as well. Is
there still enough time, Lord to do what you’ve called me to do? Can I do these things, in the
time left for me? Or have I misunderstood your meaning, your direction all this
time? My understanding is so small in the presence of your plan for my life. Sometimes, O Lord, I
feel very, very small.

"...I thought I would grow into it..." - I so relate to this, in so many ways. No matter how I feel, I always try to remember what a former pastor once said: When you don't know what to do, do what you know to do. Even when I'm unsure, there are always things I can do, and when we keep Christ our focus, things tend to fall into place as far as what He wants us doing wherever He has us.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this wise counsel. With Christ as our focus, yes, things will fall into place.
DeleteThank you, Kelly. Come again anytime.

I love this. How you speak to the Lord directly. And let me read your thoughts. Thank you. Happy FMF!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by, Michelle. I always want to be transparent before the Lord and my sisters in life.
DeleteGod Bless.

Good thoughts on the word "small". I have to get organized a little better so I can make it to writing something in five minutes on Friday. Love reading what everyone else wrote, encouraging.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Betty.
DeleteThanks for the kind comments. Organization is not required for Five Minute Fridays. If it was, I'd never write a word. :P Just grab the next one and jump on in. Look forward to see your first one.
