Topic: Wisdom from Sarath
I have a good friend at work, you have heard memention him before. His name is Don, but his real name is Sarath. I cannot pronounce or even begin to write his last name. He is from Shri Lanka.
We was talking today at work. He asked me what it was that I didnt like about those calling themselves Christians today....I told him it is because all they want to do is Judge and Point fingers and act self righteous. I then told him that I wish people could be more like him and NOT JUDGE. He got a puzzled look on his face and said "Jim, I do judge, all men judges". He proceeded to say "But it is WHAT we judge that makes a difference, If what you have in you is GOOD and Pure, then you will JUDGE that which is GOOD AND PURE in OTHERS." This completely amazed me, I told him so, to which he replied and smiled " Its all so simple". What else could be said with logic like that? This man is not even a follower of Jesus, BUT he had summed up one of the greatest fundamental truths of the bible. I count myself very fortunate to know someone like him. The harmony that all of these Judgemental Christians are seeking for through pomp and tradition, Don has found by just watching and listening with an open mind and open heart to the wonders of Gods world.
He then later told me that if each of us would take a moment to see how tiny we are in the whole scheme of things, we would have NO CHOICE but to just be humble. We see the planet as the center of the world and US as the greatest thing on that planet...But the fact of the matter is, our solar system is by no means the greatest, and our sun is by no means the largest, and our planet rests in one of the OUTER MOST arms of our galaxy, not even close to the center.....We are so small that for us to judge in the light of Gods greatness is ludicrious.
Well enough babbling about my distain for self righteous and self centered christians....
I just want Jesus and his righteousness, I want to be a servant to HIM, I want to be in the game, not the person that Keeps score, Thats Gods job.
Goodnight world.
