a picture

I was a child, and there stood the Lord

next to me. tall, high, higher than I could

see. But, the Lord of all, offered me his

shoulders to sit on. From there I was tall and I

could see everything. But it didn't overly matter

what I could see, because it mattered where I was.

On his shoulders. It matters that through him,

I was tall, something I could never be on my own.

I had no right to be tall, and I was naturally

short as a child anyway. It was the privilege that

God had given me. He has given me the gift of

his presence, and has lifted me up from where i was,

on to his shoulders.

everything around me is viewed differently as a result,

but what matters is where i am sitting.
