18 Sunday in Ordinary Time

No one in the crowd would have thought that this boy mattered. This was one little boy in the crowd, with a little bit of seafood and bread, but he had been chosen by God to be a significant piece of the Messiah’s redemptive plan not only for that day, but for the rest of human history.

Here’s what I’m trying to say: we will never know which little person God will use, and how. That means that we’re never just lost in the crowd. We’re never without anything to offer. We never know who the Lord will claim and use in ways that we can’t predict or haven’t intended. paultripp.com
