Questions

Is there a time when loving in imitation of Christ requires no more than just being? "They also serve who only stand and wait." But if I acted, I could not have done anything good...is good sometimes achieved in a lack of action? Can the right way out be the easy way out?

I always thought I would die for someone

if need be. I always thought I would stand in the way of someone else's bullet if the time came. But if it didn't matter? If they would never understand, if they would keep living their life without a change. If I knew they would never understand, would I still die for them?

And then there is Christ. Who died...for us. Some will never understand. And I will never fully understand. I know I can never measure up to Christ's love; I am called to what I am capable of, through Him of course, but would you give up your own life on earth as a Christ follower for someone who would never see? Should you?

And I think...and regardless of everything, it doesn't matter. Who can answer these questions but God? And there is no simple explanation. We have our different situations...I sincerely think I have done my job, and that God knows everything. If I have come to a consensus, it is this:



"Shout unto God with a voice of triumph,
Shout unto God with a voice of praise,
Shout unto God with a voice of triumph,
We life your name up, we lift your name up!"
