A Little Place

[90 words]

“Father, where shall I work today?”
And my love flowed warm and free.
Then He pointed out a tiny spot
And said, “Tend that for Me.”

I answered quickly, “Oh no, not there,
Why, no one would ever see
No matter how well my work was done.
Not a little place for me!”

And the word He spoke, it was not stern,
He answered me tenderly;
“Ah, little one, search that heart of thine,
Art thou working for them or Me?
Nazareth was a little place
And so was Galilee.”
