Hold me with arms that made the universe

Sitting here staring into the sound here at the outer banks makes me feel small. Yet, small in a good way. I think we all need to be reminded of our small stature before the Creator God. Here's the tension, we are small but we are of great value. "While we were still yet sinners [enemies of God] Christ died for the ungodly" Paul tells us in Romans 5. Bethany Dillon sings, "When You could just be silent and leave us here to die/Still, You sent Your Son for us/You are on our side." In my smallness I feel loved by a God who is "on our side." Just my thought for today.

Let Me Sow Love

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
~St. Francis of Assisi
