Who Am I?

Who am I

I considered my smallness, and said,

“Lord, I am nothing.

Who am I that You should even notice me?”

And a still, small voice answered,

“You are the one who asks the question.

And that is not nothing. 

It is everything.”

∴

“Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are!”

~1 John 3:1

  1. Beautiful Reflection.

    This is what I love about thunderstorms (when they’re safe!). It seems odd that we try so hard to maintain so much control over our lives, and yet I find something so reassuring about that feeling of being so very small when God’s nature is so big. In fact, when true disaster hits, such as a devastating tornado, we and everything are tossed around as if we were nothing more than debris. Our to paraphrase Hulk, we are nothing more than “puny gods”.

    I hear You !

  6. So good to know that though we are insignificant within ourselves, we are eternal, unstoppable beings through Christ. Reminds me of the reflections of the Apostle Paul.

  7. This is a good one. I really enjoyed it.

    it’s a lovely message, Mich but,of course , there are the imponderables; I remember when dad died and mum was consumed with grief the only response I could offer was that old gospel song, “Sooner or Later, we’ll learn all about it; sooner or late we’ll understand why…” The Byrds did a great version of that
