A parable — Obedience small

A man asked the master what great work was given him. The master pointed to the floor that needed sweeping. The man swept the floor that day, and the next, and the next. After many years the master said, 'You are ready for the great work.' The man asked, 'What was the small work for?' The master said, 'For you. The work was for the worker; the floor was already clean by the third year.' Ask yourself: What floor are you sweeping that you think is too small for you? FLOOR — protect what cannot recover. He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much (Lk 16:10). (A Narrow Highway original teaching parable — not a parable of Jesus; a made story that carries a true edge.)
