MY LITTLENESS

Am I constantly made aware of my imperfections so that I might be gently led to remember the perfections of God?

As I attempt to glimpse through the glass darkly am I gently led to remember the omniscience of God?

As I struggle to properly direct my little flock am I gently led to remember the omnipotence of God?

As I strive to monitor my limited time and space am I gently led to remember the omnipresence of God?

As I stumble in my infant efforts to discern between truth and error am I led to remember the grace of God?

As I seek to read and hear the words of His earthly messengers am I gently led to remember the voice of God?

As I feebly try to publish peace to my neighbor am I led to remember the consuming peace felt with God?

As I enjoy moments of conditional happiness am I gently led to remember the fulness of joy felt with God?

In so many ways – minute by minute – through the revelatory enlightenment which comes as I gain greater awareness of my numerous imperfections His grace showers me with greater understanding of His perfections!
