Well, did you survive it? Chapter four was a tough chapter. The profile of the lukewarm was thought provoking. It held many tough questions about our love for God. In each profile there is a small part of each of us. None of us are perfect. Thank the Lord for his grace and mercy!!
I think the greatest benefit chapter four held for me was to remind me where I fall short. Without these reminders, it’s difficult to grow. It’s not easy to take a hard look at ourselves. Painful even. But with this look, we’ll know what areas we need to improve. God spoke to me through many of the profiles. Reminding me to put Christ first. To reconnect. To trust.
Francis tells us, “We are all messed-up human beings, and no one is totally immune to the behaviors described in the previous examples. However, there is a difference between a life that is characterized by these sorts of mentalities and habits and a life that is in the process of being radically transformed.” I am thankful to God for being willing to show me mercy and grace and radically transform this sinful soul.
Here is the video for chapter five. You’re not off the hook yet! LOL In this chapter Francis examines how we serve God. Do we give him the best or the leftovers?
