flutter is full of wonder and watching God work
In his book The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in the slum because he can not imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased
it’s so easy to get lost in the desires of this world and forget that this is just a shadow … a reflection of things to come. What God has for us is so much more real and more rich that it makes this “fun” look … sick.
The Apostle Paul called it rubbish (or literally dung, or crap in Greek)
Phil. 3:8-9
I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness
of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all
things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and
be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes
from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ the
righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
nothing else matters
