 Story from Rabbi Abraham Twerski

“‘Young man. Why are you eating that fish?’ The young mans says, ‘Because I love fish.’ He says, ‘Oh. You love the fish. That’s why you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it.’ He says, ‘Don’t tell me you love the fish. You love yourself, and because the fish tastes good to you; therefore, you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it.’

“So much of what is love is fish love. Young couple falls in love. Young man and young woman fall in love. What does that mean? That means that he saw in this woman someone who he felt could provide him with all of his physical and emotional needs, and she felt in this man somebody she feels that she can write, that was love, but each one is looking out for their own needs. It’s not love for the other. The other person becomes a vehicle for my gratification.

“Too much of what is called love is fish love. An external love is not on what I’m going to get but I’m going to give. We had an ethicist rabbi Dessler, who said, ‘People make a serious mistake in thinking that you give to those whom you love, and the real answer is you love those to whom you give.’

His point is if I give something to you, I’ve invested myself in you. Since self-love is a given, everybody loves themselves, now that part of me has become in you, there’s part of me in you that I love. True love is a love of giving, not a love of receiving.’

MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
How are we living for Christ?  While we may not have the same physical needs as other Christians around the world, we do have a responsibility to stand in the gap for our brothers and sisters in Christ.   Are you routinely praying on behalf of others?   Jesus is in the people business and we should be too.

7 PAX this morning. The number of perfection!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Every workout ends with the Ball of Man… A group united as one! But as an engineer, I am always working with a different BOM – Bill of Materials. The Bill of Materials is a detailed list of all of the components that make up the system that’s currently being designed. All those components serve a very specific purpose. They’re included for a reason. Once they’re assembled, they are part of a functioning unit. Both of those meanings of BOM together reminded me of 1 Corinthians 12:

14For the body is not one member, but many. 15If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. 16And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? 18But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired. 19If they were all one member, where would the body be? 20But now there are many members, but one body.

Your role as a member of Christ’s body is no more or less important to Him than any other. This is not to say “You are a special snowflake and nobody is like you”. This is to say that you have a specific reason, purpose, for being, for doing, for living. You have a job to do, a role to fill. Seek what that role is from the Head, and DO it with all your might!

MOLESKIN:
You can always count on Rain Check to subvert the workout… Only 4 cards left and he decided he didn’t want to run, so he intentionally flipped non-matching cards! Of course, it only delayed the inevitable…
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Pray for Butterfingers’ MIL – Upcoming surgery. Support Moses run for 100 miles today! Hardship hill May 19.
