THEY SEEM SO LITTLE

 

Teen Girls - photobucket

 Sometimes it is almost embarrassing to write about life as it happens but it is what it is.

 

Having three girls and being inundated by their friends it was impossible not to notice the fact that they were developing normally.

 

One of their friends was way ahead of the rest of the pack when it came to breast development. They became so large that she had to wear a back support.

 

Then came the time when her back hurt so much she agreed to have breast reduction surgery.

 

After she healed up she was over at our house and was talking to our girls as she told them, “They seem so small.” 

Size wise they were still more than adequate; but she was comparing what was then to what was now.

 

In so many cases perception can become a false positive.

 

I fear many Christians view their work for the kingdom the same way.

 

The next time you feel that way (if you do) remember the words of this song;

Little is Much When God Is In It

 

In the harvest field now ripened
There’s a work for all to do;
Hark! The voice of God is calling
To the harvest calling you.

Refrain:
Little is much when God is in it!
Labor not for wealth or fame.
There’s a crown—and you can win it,
When you go in Jesus’ Name.

In the mad rush of the broad way,
In the hurry and the strife,
Tell of Jesus’ love and mercy,
Give to them the Word of Life.

Does the place you’re called to labor
Seem too small and little known?
It is great if God is in it,
And He’ll not forget His own.

Are you laid aside from service,
Body worn from toil and care?
You can still be in the battle,
In the sacred place of prayer.

When the conflict here is ended
And our race on earth is run,
He will say, if we are faithful,
“Welcome home, My child—well done!”
