Reflections From Sunday Evening

Do you remember learning something that is a basic reality?
When I was a little boy I was watching the Kansas City A’s play the Detroit Tigers. In those days few games were televised. It was much different from today. The A’s were the visiting team. It came to the top of the ninth inning. I was glued to the TV hoping for them to score enough to go ahead. But as usual, the A’s came up short. I realized they could not win the game but was confused when Detroit did not bat in the ninth. Don’t they play nine innings? Won’t they feel cheated if they don’t get their last at bat? Well, no. That is the rule of the game. If the home team leads after the visiting team bats in the ninth inning. Game over. I learned it. I remember it. It has not changed.
What is a basic truth about life (specifically the Christian life) you have learned?
How about...
God so loved the world.
Love God with all your heart.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Seek first the kingdom of God.
Give and it will be given unto you.
Show faith by deeds.
You could spend the next hours adding to the list.
These are all true. They were true before we learned them but once we discovered them we had something in our experience that will never leave us.
How are you doing practicing the true things you know?
It’s been a good day. I hope you’ve had a good day too.
