We must love in humility.
By doing so you’ll find personal freedom, comforting joy, while caring
for others on your spiritual journey.
These are qualitative moments because you’ll be embracing your true life’s
calling. With pureness of living you’ll
be like missionaries in gardens full of life.
Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881),
a Swiss moral philosopher and critic said, “There is no respect for others
without humility in one’s self.” This could
be achieved by having a clean mind, and a certain quality of love. Be sure to live under God’s protection while
engaging with others in your community.
The Liberating News
James A. Baldwin (1924–1987),
a novelist, essayist, and playwright wrote, “The question which one asks
oneself begins, at least, to illuminate the world, and becomes one’s key to the
experience to others.” With such
self-introspection people have to be free from guilt by experiencing inner
freedom. Christians know the joys of
evangelizing and illuminating lives. It’s
God who reigns within us as we express our God-given gifts to people. This message is found in the ever-living and
abiding truths of his Word. It bears
witness to our affairs as we live according to the Christian faith.
Joy of Faith
To be faith-filled means experiencing a quiet joy. Most Christians are happy people who show
streams of gladness to those they meet.
They sing praises, shine forth their light, and are excited about life. Being touched by the supernatural hand of God
they have lives of abundance goodness.
These blessings come through prayer and perseverance. Albert Einstein (1879–1955), a German-born theoretical physicist wrote,
“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” A Christian’s belief is in this faith. He or
she puts their thoughts in actions and works.
Aesop (620 BC–564
BC), an ancient Greek fabulist said, “Gratitude is the sign of noble
souls.” Holy people live by always giving
thanks, and praise to God for his blessings.
Poor People
St. Teresa (1910–1997),
a Roman Catholic religious missionary said, “Let us touch the dying, the poor,
the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us
not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.”
St. Teresa and the Sisters of Charity find great joy by working with the
poor. Their mission continues to be a witness
to the needy people of everyday life.
They know human frailties and are willing to do their best to relieve
them. Sisters of Charity bring dignity
to forgotten people, and their main focus wasn’t only the downtrodden, but the
exploited. To them money and power are
false idols, and their answer is living simply.
The distribution of material wealth to the least among them mattered
greatly. This is what they taught about
compassionate living.
In performing such deeds Christians are contemplative. Max Lucado (b. 1955), a bestselling Christian
author and preacher said, “The meaning of life.
The wasted years of life. God
answers the mess of life with one word: ‘grace.’” In the end it isn’t the dirt and squalor,
deprivation, or laws, but God’s ‘grace’ that will mean everything.
