...at least we can all laugh about it now!
Onto ...being in the moment. God had a great message for me again this morning in my Ragamuffin book! :o) A much needed reminder!
SEEING CHRIST IN OTHERS
Gilbert Chesterton met the question squarely. "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting," he wrote. "It has been found difficult and left untried." (okay...pause...WOW!)
Mahatma Gandhi once said, "I like your Christ, but I don't like your Christians." He gave as his reason, "They are so unlike your Christ." (WOW!!!) Unless and until we have men and women who live by the inner dynamism of the Spirit, human torches aglow with the fire of love for Christ, Christianity will be a musty antique of a medieval past.
Only the Holy Spirit conveys the dynamic character of the moral life and nurtures the willingness to accept initiative. External law has bred a don't-get-involved attitude. Stressing the mere and minimal fulfillment of precept, it makes Christians cautious about making waves. Just float through life like a majestic iceberg taking no chances. A prominent American churchman remarked recently: "Other people, often not even Christians, are speaking out the sound principles of Christ in the struggle for racial justice more faithfully then we. They are looked upon as fanatics - yet they are doing a very Christian thing - things we should be doing if we see Christ in our fellow man."
What a strange breed of Christianity the law has ushered in! What little resemblance it bears to the gospel of Jesus Christ!
So that with on heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. ~Romans 15:6.
WOW! That is all I have to say. I am so glad that I was paused in this moment...
Where have you seen God's grace in your life today?
