They think they need
Or must attain.Philippians 2:1-4
So is a plate
Full of patience,
Printed on the menu?
And yet it seems like,
You only have
A mustard seed of patience,
Abiding in you?
If so,
Then don't wait,
Until you think you have
Enough to fill the order.
And don't wait,
Until it feels like,
Your faith and love
Are growing stronger.
Because it's never been about
How much the waiter
Has to have,
But rather,
It has always been about
How much his Master
Always has.
He,
Who from eternity,
Has always had
An infinite amount,
And yet He often
Only gives us
Just a very small amount,
To test us,
To see if we will still seek
To feed the needs
Of others first,
Even when it seems like,
There is not enough
For everyone,
Who sits at every table.
"Increase my faith,"
Is a prayer
We've often heard or said.
But Jesus,
Gently pointed out
Whose needs,
We really need to be
More focused on instead,
When He said,
"Whosoever
Will be great among you,
Shall be your minister:
