What Do I Have?

God, What Do I Have? God asks me softly, "What do you possess?" 

I sigh and whisper, "I have nothing, I confess." 

But God, with eyes that see beyond the veil, says, "I see something—your prayer will prevail. I need your faith and your commitment. You are something and somebody, not nothing, it’s true." 

"But Lord," I murmur, "I feel so small." God replies, "I’ll use what you call ‘nothing’." 

"I’ll give you the little that I have inside," God says, "In that little, miracles abide. No excuses, just follow where I lead, With obedience, I’ll supply every need." "Believe in me, and what I can do, I’ll make something beautiful, out of nothing through you." So I bow my head, and humbly say, "God, I give you all, please lead my way." 

"But  God chose what the world considers foolish to shame the wise. God chose the world considers weak to shame the strong." 1 Corth 1: 27 CEB
