Just a thought by coppi

I’m no eagle, Lord, just a sparrow, who is thankful for Your help in finding the right doors of service.  Daniel ShanIn  

“In the Bible, sparrows are used to illustrate God’s care for even the smallest creatures, emphasizing that even seemingly insignificant things are known and loved by God.”

Jesus, I commit my life to you.  Guide me through the deep water-current that washes over me.  Make my crooked path straight, and help me to walk through the right doors of service.  I feel like I have a second chance on life.  It’s strange to me to be in the same life style I had before.  The only difference is I am not the same.  In my other life, it was hard for me to say “no” to people, which resulted in a lot of stress, and getting caught into spider webs.  One morning as I was having breakfast on the patio,  I watched a spider diligently working her web.  I thought I remembered I tore it down yesterday, and here she is at it again.  I felt the same way.  Doing and not being webbing-doing over and over again.

Jesus loves me unconditionally – that is something I had to learn.  I thought I had to earn love from people as well as Jesus.  I am thankful now to give Jesus the reins in my life, and let him be the eagle and me be the sparrow.  All I need to do is build my life/nest around the truth of the Word of Jesus and find my home around the altar of His word. 

That is not complicated- it’s resting and listening to the sound of sparrows peacefully in their nests.
