Thought for Today

a cathedral in Lubeck, Germany holds this inscription;

Ye call Me Master and obey Me not.

Ye call Me Light and see Me not.

Ye call Me way and walk Me not.

Ye call Me Life and choose Me not.

Ye call Me Wise and follow Me not.

Ye call Me Fair and love Me not.

Ye call Me rich and ask Me not.

Ye call Me Eternal and seek Me not.

Ye call Me Nobel and serve Me not,

Ye call Me Gracious and trust Me not.

Ye call Me Might and honor Me not.

Ye call Me just and fear Me not.

If I condem you, blame Me not.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. (Rev 3:19)

The word zealous means "to be hot", this is God's message to the church; be on fire for God, repent of our sins and forsake our lukewarm state.
