TINY

God's gift today was this picture: tiny sparrows dwarfed by grass, feeding by the pond on campus.

two lessons i learned from this picture:
1. i am just as tiny in the world, yet God feeds me with plenty
2. just as i find delight in watching the sparrows minding their own business in complete simplicity, God delights in us when we go about His work in simple trust and obedience.

and somewhere, in the midst of intently watching the sparrows, God whispered to me, "remember this picture; store it in your heart. you'll need to come back to it when life gets noisy and school wears on." how timely. 'cuz it's 1:37am and the frosh week pub night's still going strong. the party's out in the parking lot and my windows are rattling with the beats. but i'm happy. 'cuz i got a gift from God today. :>

Thanks, God, for the gift of sparrows.

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
~Luke 12:6~
