I was reminded today in reading this about the mustard seed, that God works through our willingness, not our abilities. God can take what little we have to offer and change the world. My problem is that I often allow myself to have visions of melodramatic grandeur. I think to myself, “God can really use me to do great things.” So I sit around waiting for something huge but miss the little opportunities along the way.
Is it possible that in spite of all the gifts and talents God has given us, it is through our insignificance that God does the best work? I suppose it is really an issue of submission and obedience. The smallest act of Christian love can spark untold change. We just have to be willing to submit to the fact that maybe, just maybe, God has called us to be a little less significant than we think.
What do you think?
