There’s an
old story about a pig and a hen walking through a dusty western street toward a
restaurant at the end, which was to be their destiny. They paused at the door and on it was a
little advertising sign that read, Worlds’ best ham and eggs.” The hen shrugged her shoulders and said,
“Well I guess we’d better get on with it.”
The Pig replied, “It’s easy for you to say—for you it is only a
contribution, but for me it’s total commitment.”
Is that our
challenge? Here in America 99% of us
have not been asked to make a “total commitment.” Most of us, at best, are making contributions
as we respond to God’s call to be servants.
We contribute our time, our money, our talent and we are pleased with
ourselves. What does total commitment
mean to those of us who call ourselves “heirs with Christ?” Certainly I am not expected to give all my
time and all my money!
Commitment
is a decision. It is decision based on a
relationship of love. We are given the
opportunity to decide what that means for each one us.
