It's Not Too Small!

     Have you ever felt like your "little" was insignificant? Would never be noticed or did not matter?  I think we've all felt that way at one time or another and man doesn't make it better because they seem to always look at how much people have and how much they are doing with it and judge based on that.( I think we've all probably been on both sides of that coin!)  I'm so glad that we have a God that looks at our heart and I'm here to encourage you that HE sees what you do when others don't and will reward accordingly.
    Several weeks ago I was in a meeting. I felt a little of what I mentioned earlier. That my "little" did not make a difference. Anyway, as the meeting went on a great accomplishment was announced and immediately it dropped in my spirit that "I" was a part of that accomplishment.....See, the "little" in my eyes was joined together with somebody else's "little" along with somebody's else's "little" 'and together all those "little" efforts added up to be a blessing to somebody else! I felt "proud" and "happy" that it was done and that my little contributed and was a part of making something big happen. I smiled. It was as if someone said to me "See! YOU help do that!" (smile..that was so encouraging. Thank you Lord)  And, to make it sweeter, God opened my eyes to the fact that HE has blessed accordingly because of it. I literally felt that while sitting there.  See, that's how He does it. A lot of us look at the "big thing" or other people and think what we have or what we do does not matter and only THEY can do it so, we don't do anything. That's not the case at all! The Lord wants us to know that He sees each individual's heart and the spirit and the motive behind what we do and what we give no matter how small it seems in our eyes or man's eyes, IT MATTERS TO HIM AND HE will bless us accordingly. That makes me SMILE. We have to stop listening to the devil's lies that our "little" does not matter!
   I immediately thought of the Widow's mite. (Luke 21:1-4) If she had looked around at all the rich folk and decided that her small amount wouldn't count, she would not have been blessed. We have to stop allowing the enemy to cheat us out of our blessings because of what we "feel". We are simply focusing on the wrong thing. We have to stop looking at others and focus on our personal relationship with Christ and, if you don't have one, I encourage you to begin a daily quiet time with Him. One on one. Just you and Him. It's worth every minute and a life changer!
