Deep See Diving
I was having a conversation with a brother today about the possibility of having a one on one. He responded with, “I’ll do it if you dance for conference.” And while I knew he was joking, I couldn’t help but think of the conundrum: is the opportunity to get to know someone on a deep level worth public humiliation?
After reflecting about it, I would say, “definitely.” It may seem a little one-sided; dancing at conference for me would be a one time only thing whereas a one on one could be had in theory whenever.
The real asset to be gained however is time and knowledge. Wealth can be spent. Products can be damaged to the point of uselessness. But the opportunity to become intimately aware of someone, to know them to the point of prayer, to spend precious time with someone is a true gift: a gift well worth the energy and effort.
And yes, well worth the humiliation.
If you don’t believe, believe Christ. We all know He went pretty far to be intimately with us.
Humiliation included.
