Go
I’ve always been of small stature. I’m 5’2” & my husband stands a full foot taller than me. I have small feet, small hands, small bones… and
sometimes I feel like I could just shrink into the back ground and avoid being
seen altogether.
I had a dream the other night.
I was walking through a stone city – it was big – but also
felt maybe a little desolate. I was walking beside an angel. The angel was huge
– way bigger than me – head and shoulders taller than my husband Neil who
towers over me. I took my eyes off the angel to look around, and my whole
perspective changed when I noticed there were more angels. Some were as tall as my house – some as huge as a sky scraper – some were even bigger than a mountain. They were wandering around
the stone city. I gazed at them in amazement and then turned to my companion
and remarked, “You’re small for an angel… why?”
The angel looked at me and said, “I'm supposed to be this size so that I can see
you.”
And it made sense to have an angel on eye level, rather than
one who would see me as from a great distance like a person watching an ant
hill… there was more to be seen, more to be understood – when one can truly be
seen.
And it reminds me of a song which often becomes my breath of
a prayer when I meet with my Father and bring all manner of life and heart and
longing to Him.
“Oh Great God, be small enough to hear me now….”
And He hears.
Stop
Stop
