AN EMOTIONAL EXTRAVAGANCE

(These One A Days are added to each day)

Dr. Robert H. Schuller in his book Love Or Loneliness, You Decide relates a radiant tale. It is about a drunken failure and the church that adopted him while he was still in jail. Of how they convinced him, by the practice of their love and concern that no one is beyond redemption. And then, backed up their words by giving him a job to clean up the church.

Dr. Schuller goes on to tell how he not only cleared away debris, cobwebs and dirt but also transformed the church’s engine room into a thing of beauty. He painted every nut, bolt and pipe, purple, red, green, blue, orange, lavender, pink - a virtual rainbow, and then the ceiling blue with stars. “It’s absolutely the most beautiful engine room in any place in the world!” reflects Dr. Schuller.

And the man’s explanation for so doing? “Because that’s the way I feel inside, since Jesus Christ came inside.”

Nowhere in the Bible does it say, “If thy brother has sinned against you, thou doest have the right to sin against him twice over”

Or, “Love thy neighbor as thyself, unless thy neighbor has been difficult to get along with. Then, don’t worry about it, give as good as you just got. “
Or, “If a person is hard to get to know or understand, then thou dost not have to put out any extra effort. Thy Lord does not ask of you that which is too difficult.”

“Little children (and we are all children of God) let us not love (merely) in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity) 1 John 3:18
