Small: Finding Rest and Purpose





Small. 

I like the word. 

Part of me, that is. 

Another part of me

Not so much. 


Large. 

Fast. Go. More. 

I also like this, too. 

A larger part of me. 

How God made me. 


I am at war with me. 

Large looms like a storm. 

Never satisfied. 

Demanding more. 

Necessary. For others. 

Potentially destructive. 


I am at war with me. 

Another side of me. 

Small calls like a whisper. 

Enough. Rest. Peace. Be still

Be satisfied

Necessary. For me. 


Who will win? 

Large or small?

Wrong question. 


Who has won? 

The large One who became small. 

The One who discipled. 

The small and simple. 

To find rest, peace, enough.

More than enough.  


The One who sent. 

The small on a large mission.

More and more. 

One at a time. 

To find purpose, passion, more. 

Never enough. 


I am at war with me.

I need more small. 

God made me large. 

Are you at war with you?

You may need large. 

God made you small. 


The One has won. 

Small and large. 

Converge

In Him. 


For me.

For you. 

For the world. 


Small. 

I like the word. 

Do you?
