How now shall we live?
Have you noticed how many opinions we have of what God is like by so many people, church leaders especially. I am convinced after years of observation, study and just plain personal experience there is one example of God he would want us to hold onto. Like God we are designed to be givers. There are more people who are finding their lives unfulfilled because the realization is setting in they are not here to simply accumulate stuff, but if we would be honest with ourselves there is no other time we feel more fulfilled then when we are giving. The nature of God is love, we are created by this supernatural essence. A recent article in the New York Times spoke of a couple who decided to give away everything they did not use and keep only what they needed, even moving into a smaller apartment. They felt by paring down their lives they would get out of it more meaning. This is happening all over the world as I hear the stories, apart from God however life is never completely fulfilled yet I understood the deep need of this couple and others who follow this path. The current economic climate begs one to refocus on what their priorities should and should not be. Only when you give yourself away in any of several ways will you begin to unearth the true meaning of Gods intention for life. This I believe is a reality more Christ followers will come to discover.
