A Theology of Paying Attention
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, challenged us to say “I am no longer my own but thine. Put me to what you will. Rank me with whom you will.” In other words, put me with the people you want me to be in relationship with, and then use me to do your good work. In order for this to happen, we have to pay attention to the people around us.
