Weekly Faith Booster 39, 25th June 2009 “He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.” Luke 4: 11. Thought for the week: People are killing each other, but hardly are they dying for each other. It’s all about me. I need to be famous. I need to make a lot money. It must be me to be at the top of the world. I must be the Savior of everyone else. Everyone must bow down to me. Everyone must turn their head when I pass by them in the streets. Everyone must want to befriend me. I must have so much attention I have to run away from it! These are some sharp unspoken intentions that drive our ambitions. When “Me” grows up and gnaws “We,” the community is full of loners, self-containedness and selfishness is legitimated. Equally, when “We” grows up and usurps “Me”, the community is boundaryless, is an open door, and privacy is officially banished. |

Where grace is extended, it means the set conditions and requirements have not been met. Grace is sort, accessed, and delivered when there is a deviation, a tangent from the set standards. In terms of life, we all run overdrawn grace accounts!! |
