The Tiny

 I think God likes tiny and insignificant, at least if some Christians have it right.  Many believe that a tiny thin wafer of bread, with no taste, is the Presence of God.  If so, then God likes to reveal this Presence in the small, insignificant and fragile.  Whereas, in our culture, so many want to reveal themselves in the powerful, significant, and lovely to look at.  Ego is pretty obvious.  Mystery, not so much.  And maybe our desire to be significant in the eyes of others, hides our sense of insignificance.  But if God does not mind being small, why should we be beating ourselves up and exhausting ourselves in efforts to be noticed?  People shine out on the spiritual path, not from their own efforts, but from God’s light within.  Let it shine.  Let it shine.
