Thinking about what Andrew wrote about how we should be dreaming big things for God.

If Christ really is who He is, shouldn't we be hurling everything of ourselves into His everlasting hands?

Of course, there is the personality aspect. However, no matter how ordinary our positions in life may seem, we can do

them in extraordinary ways.

Like Joseph, who was a prisoner of Pharoah, served so excellently, the prison warden basically handed him the keys

and told him to watch the other prisoners.

Like how in Ethiopia, during the Communist regime, the guards told their Christian prisoners to take care of their

rifles while they went to the loo.

Like how Dorcas the seamstress used her sewing kit to sow love by sewing clothes for the poor. So much, that when she

died, all the widows wept.

Like a carpenter who knelt down to wipe his disciples' feet with a towel. And by that one humble act, He made that

One common act made holy, transfigured across all time.

We don't always have to do extraordinary things for God.
But we should do the ordinary things extraordinarily.
For we are ordinary people,
but our God is extraordinary.

And if we are faithful with the little things, God will entrust us with bigger things.
