Contribution or Commitment

From Rev Gav

Thanks Sean. It’s a tough one. Following Jesus is perhaps less about believing the ‘right’ thing and more about being an apprentice of Jesus. We are all apprentices. Our quest should simply be to stick to Jesus; to look, listen, and learn from Him; and to try and be like Him in all we think, do, and say. There’s no hierarchy of commitment, and I am ‘lucky’ that I get to hide behind a dog collar and title of respectability, but I’m no different to you or anyone else, save perhaps that I have been blessed to be able to respond to a deep-seated call to serve others and help them meet Jesus as best I can. I hope that doesn’t sound pious! My inner struggles with temptation, selfishness, pride, doubt, and insecurity are very real, and I sometimes wonder if all this… FAB, my newspaper artcles, music, etc. are as much for my own benefit as anyone elses. I need Jesus too. x
