The Grossest thing ever
This morning, I did not know where my inspiration
would come from but then this day began to unravel. I always start my day by reading my Bible in
French. I read out of Luke
9:23
which begins:
“If
someone wants to come with me, he needs to stop thinking about himself, he must
take his cross daily and follow me. (transliterated from the
French Bible)
The
Grossest thing ever
Now use your grey matter and think of the grossest
thing you ever did for someone else.
Well, that can be part of a relationship explained. To lower your self to help someone else.
Soon after I read this passage I was put to the
test. I plugged the toilet all by
myself. Furthermore, we have been
travelling and we are in a motel. There
is, of course, no plunger and so I grabbed the closest thing to a plunger that
I could find…. Took a deep breath and stack my bare hand in the toilet. I forgot to mention that my wife needed the toilet,
so I had better to unplug it one way or another. I finally unplugged it and so that was
it.
Anyway, all this to illustrate the message Jesus is
giving us. Are you willing to go all out
for Him and give it all you have got.
A husband should be willing to die for his wife as Jesus died for the Church, not just in words but also in actions. It starts sometimes with the lowest tasks first. That is how we love.
