Faithful in Little Things

The word tells us to be faithful in the little things and we will be given much. I've been thinking about how we turn that verse to the idea of promotion. If I work hard here I will be promoted and be in a better place. Then I began to see an application of this verse in Jesus life. He was faithful to be broken. His willingness to be broken in little things led to His being given much brokeness (the cross). The cross was the ultimate brokeness and the ultimate submittedness. It is a High King laying down His life for the peasants who He sees as friends.

I want to change my paradigm from seeing brokeness as a season I have to endure to get to the good stuff and rather see it as the avenue for love to be poured out to others. Brokeness is our friend not our enemy. True brokeness birthed out of love is to be admired and aspired to.
