I'm all about to-do lists & checking things off. Lately, though, I've come to the realization that this tendency has led me to feel like a failure spiritually. There's no way we can follow the Bible as a to-do list- we lose everytime. And I think that sense of failure & judgement is why many turn away from church & God. But if we change our focus to God's love & perfection and just long for that, that's what will change people's hearts. Thanks for showing me that quote!John and Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068932202531862544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23751239.post-1150865130712445432006-06-20T23:45:00.000-05:002006-06-20T23:45:00.000-05:00I didn't comment over at Mary's, but this quote re...I didn't comment over at Mary's, but this quote reminds me of "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for life." But it even goes a step further - "Instill in a man the love of fishing and he might feed a bunch of other people as well."<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's about motivation. If someone is told to do a task, their heart may not be in it. If they are motivated in their heart to do the task, you probably won't have to even tell them.<BR/><BR/>Okay, that's my stab at it. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by She Lives today.

After I read the comments--that's the way I see people applying it.<BR/><BR/>However, when I first read it--I thought it was saying if you can teach someone about God and the hugeness of who He is--then rest of the Christian walk will make sense.<BR/><BR/>(I suppose it's kind of a reaction to my legalistic background??)jettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351615360394477260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23751239.post-1150837521978930762006-06-20T16:05:00.000-05:002006-06-20T16:05:00.000-05:00Thanks for the mention!
