Lego Theology

How many of us have played with Lego over the years?

I love the simplicity of this "toy". You just stick rectangular blocks together--but the beauty of it is that it provides the 'canvas' for such creativity and complexity! The only limitation is the extent of what you can imagine--how amazing is that!

I am writing this blog from Camrose Lutheran Bible College (CLBI) where I am once again being so blessed to be able to play a small role in helping others discover a vibrant life in Jesus.

While here I realized that I am just like a piece of Lego-- I am only one small piece of influence in the lives of these wonderful students, but I am filled with such a sense of fulfillment because this is what God wants me to be and do.

When you feel that affirmation from the Lord, it doesn't matter the size of the contribution--you just become grateful to be a part of something that is so much bigger and more beautiful than any single piece.

There is a great passage that teaches us good "Lego Theology" in Colossians 3:23, 24, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

The Lord blesses those who are willing to serve Him, even if it is a seemingly small thing. I am receiving that blessing from Him and I want you to know that you can experience this too.

Do you sometimes feel like you aren't making a difference? Like your contribution doesn't really mean much? Remember that God is most pleased with your one piece of "Lego" and He just wants you to commit it to Him--to see the worth of what you are doing through His eyes.

And trust me, when He blesses you, you will most certainly enjoy it!

Take care my friends,

BT
