In His Steps

I just want to share this excerpt from the book “In His Steps” by Charles Colson:

“I want to do something that will cost me something in the way of sacrifice. I know you will not understand me. But I am hungry to suffer for something. What have we done all our lives for the suffering, sinning side of Raymond ((the city in which Rachel live))? How much have we denied ourselves or given of our personal ease and pleasure to bless the place in which we live or imitate the life of the Saviour of the world? Are we always to go on doing as society selfishly dictates, moving on its little narrow rounds of pleasure and entertainments, and never knowing the pain of things that cost?”
