The other thought that’s been really shoving me lately, is this idea of eternal weight, or the idea of things bearing weight on eternity – that every investment toward eternity is worth the greatest amount – more than anything else momentary. And in some way, what we do does invest in eternity, either by removing ourselves from the story or by adding beauty to the future through what we choose to do today. This becomes even more evident when I think about Abraham – his life blessing generations upon generations upon generations. I am a small person – like one or two loaves only and maybe one fish – but God can multiply that to feed thousands, not because of me or who I am, but because and on account of him and who he is.

Anyway – That motivates me toward mission.

And the idea that I might waste my life only living for me and never touch anyone unless they were convenient or easy – shoved me. Also, this wise couple challenged the legitimacy of a faith that doesn’t bear fruit…

May God give us fruit and feed thousands with it! Thanks for this post – sorry for my long-windedness.
