Very convicting.
Check this out!
This post really made me feel so ashamed of myself, but I thank you for posting it. This morning I was relieved to the point of almost happy that our services were cancelled because of the ice on the roads here. I justified my feelings by telling myself that I was just so worn out that not going to church would be nice. I was happy to lay around till 4 in the afternoon only getting up once to get some hot chocolate.
I said a half hearted prayer and dozed. Then I read a novel.
Now, I look at these people in worship under the threat of death and I see how far from the mark I truly am.
I live in the most blessed and free nation in the world where I can worship anytime without fear of death or harm and I am happy to miss service. These people are grateful to be able to meet and worship. That is truly selfish of me. What I took for granted this morning these people are dying for.
How selfish I am. God, forgive me.
