Here’s a quote from Donald S. Whitney. It makes me think about my life and my lifestyle, it reminds me of many people I know and ultimately of pretty much everybody on earth. Or maybe in the West, I don’t know. It is a challenge to me, to live my life with my eyes wide open and not let myself slowly be moulded into what is considered “life” for most people, even Christians.
In our frustrating and futile efforts to keep up the demands of life maintenance, our souls have shrivelled. We have more tasks, activities, and deadlines to accomplish than ever; we have more to organize, store, and maintain than ever; and the result is that we’re becoming increasingly efficient at leading meaningless lives. What good is our multitasking, the accomplishment of more and more, and the acquisition of wealth, if we are not – by the means God has given us – becoming more like Jesus, the One we live for and the One who will evaluate our lives?
This Friday, I am sending the money to Gospel for Asia. We are at 17$ so far, if you wish to give, please let me know gabeleroux@yahoo.ca or think about giving for May. A buck or two can do much for our eastern brothers and sisters. Thanks to all who gave!
