Pick Me!
Pick Me!
Little Ollie was certain that he really didn't matter. After all, he was the smallest of Too Smalls. And like all the Too Smalls of Stiltsville, he desperately wanted a pair of stilts. Surely that was what he needed to fit in, to be important. So every evening at six, he pleaded to get picked.
Then, for some reason no one quite knows, Ollie was given a pair of stilts. But it wasn't as wonderful as he had expected. Birds used him for a perch. Why didn't he feel any better than he had before?
Then a stumble, a tumble, and just like that Ollie was an outsider once again. That's when he met Jesus and discovered he had always mattered--he had always been loved.
This comforting message from Max Lucado helps young and old alike understand that even if we are small, or don't feel like we fit in, we matter to the only One who matters.
