THE PREACHER
A Story Worth Your Time.
A preacher walked into a classroom and asked the students,
"How much part of your life is God?"
The first student stood up and answered,
"God is a very important person. He loves me so much that he sent Jesus to die for me. For that, He is a big part of my life!"
Everybody gave him a round of applause. Then, another student stood up and answered,
"God is generous. God is loving. God is caring. God is creator, sustainer, and redeemer of all things. God has blessed me beyond my imaginations. For that, He is a huge part of my life!"
There was another round of applause. And in no time, almost all the students had answered impressively and were each given a handsome round of applause.
Just then, a girl in the back stood up and shook her head severally. To everyone's surprise, she answered,
"I'm sorry, but I don't believe that God is a part of my life. He is not even a tiny part!"
The entire class gazed with wonderment at her, and began to whisper,
"She's an atheist! She doesn't believe in God! She doesn't acknowledge the existence of God! She's unbelievable!"
The preacher suddenly stopped and asked the girl,
"Tell me, why did you say God isn't a part of your life?"
The girl smiled and said,
"With everything God has done for me, he doesn't deserve to be a part of my life. In fact, God is my life. He is my everything!"
We can look back on our lives and be overwhelmed at the goodness and compassion of the Lord. There have been trails and there have been joys. In all things, God has shared with us His love and His compassion. He has done a great work in our lives and is still working on us. God is not just a part of our lives. He is our lives, and we should appreciate him for that!
