Just because its not practical, does it mean we shouldn't do it?
Just because it takes up your time to make money, does it mean you shouldn't do it?
Everytime i'm blog-hopping, i recall what Ernest said about how his wife always asked if msn was taking up too much of his time making money and he agreed to that idea.
Perhaps there's a hidden circumstance that i fail to see, or maybe its just that we have different priorities and in the place of a married man, he says that he'll rather spend the time somewhere else instead.
Are relationships forgone in the process?
A necessary sacrifice?
Maybe in today's world its no longer possible to have the existence of such a duality, but with God all things are possible.
If there's one thing about faith that i admire about the apostles is that they didn't carry money wherever they went.
They wholly depended on God's provision for food, shelter and even clothing.
What's more, in their lack, Jesus commanded them to give their coats and sandals freely to whomever needed it.
Can such a similar scenario exist in today's world?
When work is no longer defined by the amount you receive but it becomes the amount that you give.
Perhaps God wants us in this age to earn the big bucks so that at the end of the day, more can be given to those who need it.
But God, in that exchange, what do we have to sacrifice?
I really don't know.
But if You want me to be a great giver, then perhaps the sacrifice is worth it all.
