the little things

Those who have abandoned themselves to God always lead mysterious lives and receive from him exceptional and miraculous gifts by means of the most ordinary, natural and chance experiences in which there appears to be nothing unusual. The simplest sermon, the most banal conversations, the least erudite books become a source of knowledge and wisdom to these souls by virtue of God's purpose. This is why they carefully pick up the crumbs which clever minds tread under foot, for to them everything is precious and a source of enrichment.

~Jean-Pierre de Caussade


Ive been reminded again of the importance of seeing God in the little things, and im just now starting to get a glimpse of his grand design. Its amazing how God can use such unimportant things to his glory. Only God can take contact lenses, pen caps, and pears and turn them into something meaningful. So keep your eyes open, and be sensitive to God's shoulder taps each and every day. Don't rush by, you just might miss something divine.
