Dispossession

LongestLineGame.JPG
I'm observing a camp for tertiary students at the moment (yes, as in now).


As always, it begins with ice-breaker games. And they're playing this game now, consisting of several groups competing to see which one can form the longest line using the possessions they have on themselves.


When we begin unloading our possessions one by one, lining these things up in a straight line, then we will begin to see just how much we have on ourselves. It's frightful.


The Christian is called to a life of kenosis, self-emptying and self-denial. It is a life of dispossession, unloading, and the lightening of the self.


Get real... it takes guts to live a life of dispossession. Got guts?

Alright, I'm convicted. Especially since my first thought about how I would do this yielded about 2.5 meters of stuff. My second thought was how fast I could get all my stuff back. Seems like I'm still a sinner in need of grace.
