Perspective

You are so much bigger than me.

Bigger than the things I can or cannot do. 
Bigger than the boundaries of my existence.
Bigger than my understanding of you.
Bigger than my expectations of you.

More powerful than I give you credit for.
More righteous than I can comprehend.
More magnanimous than I let myself believe. 

I have gotten things out of perspective lately, Lord. 
My distance from you has warped my perception of reality -
Made you too small 
   - and me too big. 

As I edge closer again, the reality of my smallness and your bigness gradually comes back into focus. 

I am humbled
        awed
        encouraged
        and a fresh sense of hope springs up within me.
