Book description
This is simply one of the most profound and challenging books Ive read about living out the gospel among the poorest and vulnerable of the earth. I am not where Id like to be, in terms of what I can do, but I know Im not where I was. I pray that God continues to draw me closer to his heart for the poorest ones and continues to increase my faith and trust in him.Just finished the chapter on Simplicity (p. 100). Chris Heuertz writes: We want to make the issue about what we give, but in truth the issue is about what we keep. He references the widow who gives all she has. Jesus says All of these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on (Luke 21:4). Heuertz: The story suddenly became not about what was given, but what was left over-- nothing. It is much easier to give out of abundance than to give out of depleted stores. Very true. ~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~--~-~-- I am currently on page 83, and I pray that I never tire or become numb to the message of this book. The author spent time serving in Mothers Teresas mission in Calcutta, caring for the dying, right after college and has been part of Word Made Flesh (a global mission among the poorest of the earth) for many years. He centers on the elements of humility, community, simplicity, submission and brokenness as the tools God uses to help us see him and bring the thy kingdom come reality to earth. Two sentences I read tonight struck me profoundly: As the statistics of poverty grow, the church only sings louder so as not the hear the staggering numbers and the cries of the victims. Quote from Mother Teresa: If the poor die of hunger, it is not because God does not care for them. Rather, it is because neither you nor I are generous enough. Seriously... if I am to love others as myself....then the state of this world should prick my spirit more than it does and spur me on to increasing, loving, sacrificial action.
