Galatians 5:19 |
19-21It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time: repetitive, loveless, cheap sex; a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage; frenzied and joyless grabs for happiness; trinket gods; magic-show religion; paranoid loneliness; cutthroat competition; all-consuming-yet-never-satisfied wants; a brutal temper; an impotence to love or be loved; divided homes and divided lives; small-minded and lopsided pursuits; the vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival; uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions; ugly parodies of community. I could go on.
How to help such a person? Who becomes a drain on resouces: emotionally, mentally, financially without a care for others. Just the big I, Myself and Me. A black hole where everything and everyone gets sucked in and gone forever.Is it a matter of inconvenience?
An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered." GK Chesterton
OK Let's consider it an adventure.
