[Anything you have...] It is due to the century and place in which you were born, to your talents and capacities and health, none of which you earned.
In short, all your resources are in the end — the gift of God.
-- Tim Keller
Tami and I were talking recently. The more I have and the more I am aware of what others don't, the more I struggle to accept the disparity, to not ache for those without. And not just without the physical comforts or benefits in this life, but the deeper and internal stuff that people don't have, don't know about. I have been blessed with so much, not the least of which is awareness of God's goodness. But, we are all one. And, I can't not feel a ping of inability to completely enjoy something knowing that others are suffering in so many of the dimensions that they are -- some of it by their own choosing, but much of it (perhaps) not.
Oh, to be more like Moses.
