The sun gives forth
light; it cannot help doing so. Animals breathe in and out; they cannot
help doing so. Fish swim in rivers and the seas; they cannot help doing
so. What, then, are the things which a Christian cannot help doing?
First of all, a
Christian cannot help praying. To be a Christian is to regard God as a
loving Father; and it is natural to talk and listen to one's
parents.
Second, a Christian
cannot help praising God and giving praise to Him. To be a Christian is
to affirm God as Creator of the universe; and when a Christian looks at the
beauty and glory of what God has made, praise and thanksgiving pour from the
lips.
Third, a Christian
cannot help being generous. To be a Christian is to acknowledge that
everything belongs to God and the human beings are merely stewards of what they
possess; so they naturally want to share their possessions with those in
need.
Fourth, a Christian
cannot help reading the Scripture and also studying the insights of other
Christians. To be a Christian is to rejoice in the power of the
Holy Spirit; and the Sprit speaks to us through the Scriptures and through the
insights of our spiritual brothers and sisters.
