Every day is a chance to grow. We can grow in knowledge and skill, we can grow physically, spiritually, emotionally, financially, and relationally. And most of the time, growing means getting bigger. But in God’s kingdom, things may look a little different. Jesus says to be great, we must get small. (Matthew 18:1-4; 20:26-28)

We must be like children and grow small in our own eyes. That way, we can be playful and take ourselves less seriously. We can ditch pride and be meek and humble in heart. We can declutter our minds and our homes and cast off things that holds us down and burden us. We need a smaller sense of ourselves and bigger view of God.

After all, we must get small to go through the narrow gate that leads to life (Matthew 7:13,14). Joy comes by being present like a little child and trusting our big Daddy God. Grow small and let Him put you on His shoulders. The view is divine and He can carry you places you never thought possible. Love y’all!
