Commitment

Yesterday while on the way down the trail from a 22km hike into the mountains, we came upon a 40 something man pulling a modified golf cart loaded with two days worth of camping gear and supplies, followed by his 80 year old mother. They asked how far it was to Red Heather Hut and Elfin Lakes. When told the distances they both remarked, "No Problem"! I am sorry now that I didn't get their picture.

Thinking about that encounter this morning I was struck by the level of commitment and love this man showed for his mother, and wondered how many of us would show this kind of love for another? While it pales in comparison, it is a good human representation of the love Jesus demonstrated for each of us when he went to the cross on our behalf. The man was literally punishing his body in order to give his mother a couple of days in the most beautiful place in the world.

Do you love like this? Have you taken Jesus love seriously and payed it forward? Such devotion is beyond earthy reason and reveals a heavenly mindset!
