Do you ever feel like the contributions you make are insignificant? Like you are not especially good or spiritual? I think most feel that way. I would even think that some who we would consider very significant would think of themselves as insignificant.
We think that to be important or significant we have to do something amazing. Mother Teresa said "In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love." The important thing is that we do small things that are put before us with great love.
Mike Yaconelli likens this to a mosaic. Thousands of tiny pieces make up a whole. The tiny pieces don't seem like much alone but put them together and you have a work of art. "Our tiny choices and tiny moves toward God may not seem like much. But someday you and I will stand together in the great cathedral of heaven, and up front, by Jesus will hang the most magnificent mosaic we could ever imagine, made up of thousands and thousands of our tiny responses to God's love in our lives." (Mike Yaconelli, Messy Spirituality, p. 119)
Let God love you and make tiny choices to do little things with great love.
Learning to Live Loved,
