What if what you think is small is actually BIGGER than you think?

There’s this “Think Big” disease I have come to identify.

A mental disorder that causes you to reach out for more, but blinds you from seeing what is already there, in the name of it being “small” or “not big enough”

Yes, yes, yes, we should never settle for less, and we should always seek out to be more, do more, have more… But what if our search for more is an excuse to not see what’s in front of us? “An Irresponsible Search For More” “An Escape Plan” Believing that things “will get better” in the world of more.

What if it’s A silent run away from the responsibility that comes with the “small” that we already have, RIGHT. NOW.

If I may ask you… What would you do when all God wanted you to do was paint nails, engineer software, nurse patients, [insert your craft here], audit firms, write poetry or be a secretary? What if that was it, and that’s all he wants you to do?

No fortune 500 company or ranking among the top 10 billionaires. Trillionaire? No 100 M subscribers on YouTube or a Mansion on a purchased Island in the Indian Ocean. None of that!

No royal wedding with Rihanna performing at your party for $ 6.3 million. Not that too.

What if what you are doing right now is it?

Would you be grateful? Would you give it everything you got? Or would you be disappointed, or find your way to the denial club?

Don’t get me wrong, I believe God is not for the small things. But what is your idea of small? Do you think just because the toenail is small it’s not as “worthy” or “impactful” as your head? Your heart? Your mind?

Try cutting it off and see how well you find your “balance”

What if what you think is small is gigantic to God? What if your definition of BIG is a deceived one?

All I’m saying is, what if what you have right now is a stick to part the red-sea and you don’t even know it.

You are busy out there looking for the Titanic. Little do you know, both do the same job. Just that, one is fancy. And because you’ve been trained to uplift fancy things you don’t see the power in the stick that’s in your hand.

Maybe all you have is all you need. and maybe, just maybe, how faithful you become with what you have is a door opener towards more that you can handle.
