The "Rubber Boots" of Christianity

These are the dress shoes of Christianity-

-The times when one is called to stand for Christ before kings, before the rich, 

before the well-known.

These are the hiking boots of Christianity-

-The times when one is called to traverse rugged terrain, climb steep mountain paths, navigate slippery slopes,
all to reach a handful of people with the Good News about Jesus.

These are the rubber boots of Christianity-

-The times when one humbles himself to do a task nobody else wanted

-The times one must be "in the mud, but not of the mud"

These are the flip-flops of Christianity-

-The times when one is called to immediate action

-The times when one is racing outdoors on a quick mission for Christ

These are the slippers of Christianity-

-The times of treading softly in the presence of our Lord

-The times of quiet communion with Him, resting peacefully in His arms
