nearly a year ago, i sat in my church on a friday night, and watched a play about depression and suicide ... two of the hardest topics to discuss and yet the last four words of his show almost moved me to tears ...
"will there be enough?" enough of what? food? shelter? water? yes, all of those things, and yet still there is another one. will there be enough love? in a time of such hatred and oppression, will there be enough love to go around? out of 6.9 billion people in this world, approximately 2.2 million of us are christians. that means almost one third of the world's population is christian. what would happen if we truly showed the love of Jesus to every person we met, regardless of any physical differences? in my bible reading this morning, there was a verse that said: "a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough (gal. 5:9) at first, you might think this is just a baking metaphor. and yes, it can be, but it describes something more. it describes us. we as christians are the yeast. the world is our dough. our job is to unite the world using the tools we have been given through Jesus as christians ... love, trust, friendship, and most importantly, his word. there can always be more love in the world. don't let differences get in the way.
