What a puny little bike path!

This is a picture of a bike path.  This specific part of the path runs through this pipe because above it is an enormous 6-lane Highway.

Our lives are like this small simple bike path.  All we can see is our path.  Our perspective is from our path. Our path is important, and our path is big.

...but compared to the 6-lane Highway our path is small and insignificant.

When our lives intersect with God's it is not because God showed up in our lives, but that our small insignificant lives were given permission (if only for a moment) to cross His big, enormous, powerful highway.

It's not about making our story important.  It's about working to get our puny story to intersect into the only story that is important.
