Me:  What are you doing here by this building with nothing in it?

 

Prodigal:  Even though there is nothing here, I can’t help but to dream that it will be something.

 

Me:  Now, Prodigal you are starting to sound a little like C.S. Lewis

 

C.S. Lewis writes

Christ offers, something for nothing; He even offers everything for nothing.  In a sense, the whole Christian life consists in accepting that very remarkable offer.  But the difficulty is to reach the point of recognizing that all we have done and can do is nothing.

Is this statement depressing to you because you can not earn YOUR:  salvation, promotion, relationships, ministry.

Is this statement full of hope and freedom because GOD has given you: salvation, promotion, relationships, ministry because GOD wants to show you LOVE.

 

Psalm 62:8

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour our your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

 

Jennifer Van Allen
