When Your Affections Become Divided (1)
A boy said to his girlfriend one night, “I don’t have a lot of money like Jerome Green, but I sure do love you,” to which she said nothing. The boy said, “I don’t have a beautiful home like Jerome Green, but I really love you.” She still remained silent. “I don’t have a brand new Porsche like Jerome Green,” the boy said, “but you mean all the world to me.” Finally the girl said, “I love you, too, but will you tell me a little more about Jerome Green?”
Sometimes Christians “love” their attachments to Christ, but hold a greater interest in the world. Then we wonder why people are more interested in learning about all the things that go on in the world more than they are about the things of Christ. Funny!
It is quite natural and inevitable that, if we spend sixteen hours daily
of our waking lives in thinking about the affairs of the world and
five minutes thinking about God and our souls, this world
will seem two hundred times more real to us than God.
William Ralph Inge
What a lesson!!!
