This is a sermon I shared in December 2015. “A wise lover values not so much the gift of the lover as the love of the giver.” Thomas A Kempis. When you and I get confused or so arrogant to understand that we should be servants to other people we miss out on the best life has in store for us. Gary Inrig, Life in His Body shares: Several years ago, two students graduated from the Chicago-Kent College of Law. The highest ranking student in the class was a blind man named Overton and, when he received his honor, he insisted that half the credit should go to his friend, Kaspryzak. They had met one another in school when the armless Mr. Kaspryzak had guided the blind Mr. Overton down a flight of stairs. This acquaintance ripened into friendship and a beautiful example of interdependence. The blind man carried the books which the armless man read aloud in their common study, and thus the individual deficiency of each was compensated for by the other. After their graduation, they planned to practice law together. Living Bible: 6 This being so, I want to remind you to stir into flame the strength and boldness[a] that is in you, that entered into you when I laid my hands upon your head and blessed you. 7 For the Holy Spirit, God’s gift, does not want you to be afraid of people, but to be wise and strong, and to love them and enjoy being with them. Look at this…based on this verse the responsibility to stay “FIRED UP” is on us…as individuals.
