Few days ago I visited a bookstore. And, to my surprise, a moment of wonder came into my mind, " After a year, how could I lose my appetite of all interesting things outside Christian ministry: novels, art, fantasy literature, music, song, films? Am I less human by neglecting me?" Flashed back...not even one novel that I read within a year. No new art exposure and knowledge. No development in expressing emotion? (I realized that I smiled more often to people, but difficult to release / sublime my anger, distress, and other negative feelings) Uh-oh.
Phew, thank God for his kind reminder that offering myself to God does not mean ignoring my human needs. I have done wrong to half of my own being. I should have committed my needs and interests above to God, and continue to nurture them as my offering too. Anyway, loving me would result to loving others completely, and not only taking care of their churchy side of life.
Well, thank you for reading this funny note.
