A Tree in the Forest
February 27, 2010Today’s quote from A Million Miles in a Thousand Years is a short and sweet one:
The story of the forest is bigger than the story of the tree.
So true. A lot of what I’ve been saying in this blog is all about figuring out and living out a story with my/your life. But, no matter how my story turns out, no matter how crazy or boring it really is…I’m just playing a part in God’s bigger story. I heard a definition of humility once: To consider yourself in light of who God is. I can claim to live a great story, be a great dad or husband, be fearless and take all sorts of risks – but it’s only how God uses me that really matters. What’s important is how my story ties in with all the other stories being lived out all around me.
I hope I can continue to consider myself in light of who God is!
