As I was swimming in the ocean a few days ago I started thinking about different sizes of different waves. Some waves look big but as they reach the shore they don’t crash as hard. Some look small in the ocean but as they crash to the shore they leave a bigger impact. Yet others still are small, or big altogether.
There are 250 babies born a minute in the world. There isn’t statistics for waves in the ocean, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were similar. There are so many waves of people in the world. All of them with their special role to play. It makes me very sad to see so many of them not playing their roles. There too busy trying to look big to the world (a wave in the ocean) but at the end of their lives they never actually leave a good impact.
It is also sad to see that so many of them never actually carry out their purpose. it’s as if they think it’s their purpose to look big, run over as many as possible and get to the top. But God humbles the proud and exalts the humble. We are here to live in the purpose that each of us our called to. Not try and get to the top and do whatever damage it takes to get there.
I love everyone!!!!!!

Elizabeth,
The Profound simplicity of the upside down Kingdom of God was well laid out by you sister. “The greatest in the kingdom is the servant of all”. Keep going low and continue loving and walking in greatness Elizabeth!

Thank you Matt! Whoever humbles himself will be exalted. But whoever exalts himself will be humbled.
