Today, as I was walking at the park, I started thinking about how small I was compared to God. I picked up a leaf from the left side of the walking track and held it in my hand. It was just like all the other leaves, but at the same time it was completely unique. I then felt the wind blowing it, such a delicate thing this leaf... Finally, I let it go. It slowly floated to the right side of the track.
I realized then that I'm just like that leaf. Sometimes God simply has to pick up something as insignificant as me...and I'm reminded of which side I truly want to be on. :)
