| " What, then, is the value of culture?.....I naturally turned first to the New Testament. Here I found, in the first place, a demand that whatever is most highly valued on the natural level is to be held, as it were, merely on sufferance, and to be abandoned without mercy the moment it conflicts with the service of God." - C.S. Lewis (Christian Reflections)
This quote puts so many things in perspective for me - what I value (school, work, relationships...etc) seems so limited and in that, if conflicting with my service to God, should be stripped away, abandoned for the kingdom.
I have not upheld Christ in my life, as I used to do. I have been lost in my own desires, my own intentions. But beyond all my faults, flaws, sins, God takes me where I stand (spiritually strong or spiritually weak).
This entry is for no one but myself, but it is a glimpse into what I am dealing with at the moment.
I yearn to live only for Him, to be a humble servant, one to be broken if necessary, used and wasted if that is His will. I will NOT gain a life of joy here on earth or in eternity, if I embrace it with the desires of the flesh.
I love you all...and I mean that.
Sustained only by Christ,
Andrew
