We all want to be apart of something. Not just anything, but something significant. Many times we describe significant on the basis of profit, people, or productivity. Success is equated with excess (thanks Switchfoot). More and more. Bigger and better.

Sounds good. Looks good. Actually good?

I've been thinking about how this relates to the way God operates. God is massive. Vast beyond my comprehension. Therefore, I default to his operations as massive too. Yet, this thinking is paradoxical, for how would he be dealing with me. I, we, are small but God interacts with us.

What if, in my relationship with God, I started small. A spark here, and a spark there, and a spark there. And what if starting these small movements in my life and in my ministry...God was moving through all of them toward a larger end?

I want to be apart of something. Not just anything, but something significant.

We must work on our definition of significance.

Significant doesn't mean "Big".
