P. 49
“Pay it forward” is a common, modern expression.
We should focus on the positive things of the gospel. If you’re not
spiritual-minded then the gospel is probably not for you. You need to
find something else that is more like you. Again, we are all different,
even though she shouldn’t treat each other differently.
But the gospel talks a lot about people being in ‘unity’ and in ‘oneness.’
I sometimes think that, even though there are close to 7 BILLION of us,
God only sees two people in the world:
1-those who are IN Christ
2-those who are NOT in Christ.
Yes, we’re told he even knows how many hairs we have on our heads
(which of course changes over time). But I think God also sees us in the
sense of unity and oneness. This is especially true of believers. This is
why I call the gospel ‘the great equalizer.’
But we can't focus on poverty, and on grumbling and on coveting what
we don’t have – and expect to live a positive life in ourselves, and in
touching other people. “You can’t give away what you ain’t got.” And
we all lack, according to someone we know.
