Crazy Love

Emily and I are reading a Fantastic Book called "Crazy Love". Something struck a chord in me when we were reading the first chapter. The author, Francis Chan talks about the All Powerful God and how we live as if He was created for us, instead of us being created for Him. Francis writes about some of the questions people pose like, "Why are there so many people dying of starvation? Why is my family so messed up? Why don't You make Yourself more obvious to the people who need You?"
"The answer to each of these questions is simply this: because He's God. He has more of a right to ask us why so many people are starving. As much as we want God to explain himself to us, His creation, we are in no place to demand that He give an account to us."
God has given us the resources, time and talent to make a difference in this world. Now I am thinking about how He might be asking the church, especially the church in the West, "Why aren't you making a difference with what I have given you." the Bible says "To whom much is given much is required." We have been given so much and God is waiting for us to hold up our end of the bargain.
Thank you, Jesus, for giving us the opportunity to be a part of Your healing on this earth.
