Shine Again: Who am I?

Who am I?

This morning while cleaning up the kitchen I was enjoying my daughter's MP3 player. My thoughts were all over the place.

I was thinking about love- people's perceptions of it, how it is defined, how it is expressed....

I was thinking about those who find today to be lonely and sad day because of perhaps love lost or never realized.

I was wondering if those in my life know how much I love them, how valuable their lives are, how I desire to show them my love, though I often fail.

Then this song came on.

I found myself in tears, wiping the table. Overwhelmed by a Love that I do not deserve. Heartbroken for those who have never heard. Grieved for those who have seen God's Love and rejected it for the world's imitation.

Who am I?

"...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complain- ing or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing...." Philippians 2:12b-16

I often want to be the one to do big things for God. This verse reminds me that it is in doing the small things well and without complaining that I can be most useful to Him. So when I'm taking care of the sick and sweeping up the floor again and just got sauce on my only white shirt and somehow managed to drop a box of crayons down the dryer vent and my friend is hurting and my child is frustrated with school and I really don't feel like I can answer one more question.... I remember that this is my time to SHINE AGAIN.
