Micro Thought #3
The
following is a brief quotation from a book by Wilbur E. Rees entitled “$3.00
Worth Of God.” The thought is all too
typical of many Christians. Some want
only a little bit of God, because, as many say, "too much may cause me to
miss out on what this world has to offer."
"I
would like to buy $3.00 worth of God, please, not enough to explode my soul or
disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in
the sunshine.
"I
don't want enough of Him to make me love a black man or pick beets with a
migrant. I want ecstasy, not
transformation; I want the warmth of
the womb, not a new birth.
"I
want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack.
I would like to buy $3.00 worth of God, please."
