nothing. everything.

September 27, 2010

Humbled.  The past year-and-a-half of my life has been a lesson in humility.  Never before have I been so aware of my nothingness, so conscious of all that I lack.  I am weak, I am poor in spirit.  My life is like a breath.  Small and seemingly insignificant.

But, there is a BUT.

I have been created and fashioned by the Uncreated One.  My heart is His, and He is mine.  I am nothing, but He is everything.  And he loves me.  I tend to long for lesser things, forgetting that my Father wants better for me– He wants to fill me with the joy of His presence, to stir my heart with glimpses of His glory in His creation.

I can’t understand it, I cannot do anything but marvel at this sweet collision in my life of nothing and everything, small and mighty, poor and glorious.
