Reading from an ADHD person during biblical times

Many of us have read through the Bible numerous times and the Lord will show you new insights every time.  But when in college many years ago, I was challenged by Dr. Phillips to find other authors who wrote during the first century.  He said for me to look at the Book of Barnabas as it would be a book I would understand.  Humm he knew me well before ADHD was a name.

Recently, I looked again at the Book of Barnabas online http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/barnabas-lightfoot.html   and in reading the book was reminded that he was a lot like me.  He had an attention issue which is reflected in him jumping from thought to different thought from verse to verse in the book.

We hear of Barnabas 33 times in the Bible as he was first  introduced in Acts 4:36   Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”).  While the other Christians were in fear of Saul during his transformation to Paul, Barnabas encouraged them to "give him a chance" because Saul had met Jesus and that was good enough for Barnabas.

During the reading of Barnabas, which I could keep up with as he moved from thought to thought, one verse jumped out at me.  Barnabas had been talking about the old Jewish ways to forgive sin and was quick to say they were no longer pleasing to God since Jesus died and rose again.  (Love his creative way of saying things).  Yet this one verse does a quick summary of previous verses.  
Barnabas 2:10

Thus then speaketh He to us; The sacrifice unto God is a broken
heart, the smell of a sweet savor unto the Lord is a heart that
glorifies its Maker. We ought therefore, brethren, to learn
accurately concerning our salvation, lest the Evil One having
effected an entrance of error in us should fling us away from our
life.

When was the last time you brought a sacrifice to God?  Are you brokenhearted for those hurting or lost? When was the last time you cried during a praise or worship song?  When has your heart broken for others and not just for yourself?  As for the second part of this verse, when was the last time you glorified the Lord?

Maybe we can learn something from an ADHD person.  

By the way, in reading the entire Book I can see why it was not included in the Bible.  Barnabas is hard to follow as his thought process is all over the map.  But that's the way God wired him and he was a Great Man of God!
