Serving People

Do you ever read or listen the story below?

Two of God' closest disciples were sisters named Martha and Mary. On one occasion, when God came to visit their household, the two sisters responded in very different ways. Martha, who was hard-working and conscientious, went to a lot of trouble and effort to make sure the house was in order. Meanwhile, Mary did nothing but sit at God's feet and listen as he spoke. When Martha complained about her sisters laziness, she was surprised to hear God defend Marys wise decision. Mary had chosen to focus on what was necessary her relationship with God, through God rather than what was merely useful.

You know what I am not in favor for this.

I hate when people say "I put God first than anything" - no matter who your God is.

Do we realize how many people are hurt and souls taken because people put their God first than their fellow human? How Al-Qaeda fight to change people to believe in Muslim, his God. How different races in Indonesia fight against each other, because 'your God and my God is different'? - so the God of the winning side rules! Bullshit!

Do you know there are great people in this world, who have extreme faith in God and still doing the right thing, with the believe serving people you love, people around you, people in need, and and that's how they serve their God.

Have you ever thought how mother Theresa serves his God? She served people who are in need. How about Mahatma Gandhi? Same, he served his people. How people who fight for the independence of his country are called Heroes? Because they are seving their nations, their people.

It was too egoist to sit in God's house and listening to sermons, thinking that you are doing something right. Just like the stories above, by arranging the house to be in order, Martha might have done his God a great favor. There might be more people will come in to the house (or God House), and His words will be heard by many more than only the two sisters.

My point is don't be too fanatic in whatever you are believe in. Too much is not always good!
