“Like Saint Matthew, we also all have our own little tax booths. Some situation that comes between us and Christ. Some barrier we stay seated behind and watch as our lives go by. We tell ourselves one day I will get up out of this. One day I will fully follow Christ with all my heart.”
“Every day of our lives, we must get up out of our own tax booth. This is hard. It’s always tempting to stay seated in the status quo. Yet throughout Scripture, the status quo rarely survives an encounter with Christ.”
“We must get comfortable with depending on Jesus, no matter how uncomfortable it makes us feel. The alternative is a life built solely on self-reliance. A life stuck behind the tax booth of our own selves.” – Jack Crowley
