I've previously address this longing to do great things, big things with my life, sometimes justifying this desire with wanting to do them for God and His kingdom, with a completely sincere heart, yet still a longing to do big things, important things. Longing for a purpose and a drive that would be obvious and tangible.
But today, this notion of doing small things for God's kingdom really struck me. I may not be the next big ambassador for God in a large, tangible, presidential way, but that may not be what God is calling me to. God simply calls me to love him, obey Him, trust Him, serve Him, and all do all of these things for my "neighbor". I've had to humble myself to this idea of living my life in a real way with God, dependent on His strength and leaning into his love, mercy, and grace on a daily basis. This doesn't mean that God won't use me to do good things for His purposes, just that I will be doing His will, verses my own.
