I Had A Dream
This is one of the sort that reflects some things I've been going though for a while.
Mean or anti Christian comments will be deleted.
It goes like this:
I was in a church and a small conference taking place, with a surprisingly few people I thought.
The preacher suddenly gave each person a sheet of paper that asked, 'Are you a Christian? List 10 things that you have done for your church.'
In the dream I could only think of 2 or 3 things. I felt terrible and tried to find somebody to talk to, but they all turned their backs and I left crying.
I woke up and had to remind myself that pleasing God and satisfying church folks are two very different things. Doing good in general is also not limited to church congregations.
Of course, it is good to do things for other people. But if anyone had to rely on the strength of their own works, we would all be lost.
