“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1
Know your own struggles. Read Henri Nouwen's REACHING OUT. The more you seek to understand your inner battles, the more you will be able to welcome a prayerful, authentic, Christ-centered life, open to the needs of others.
In our culture, what we do is synonymous with who we are.
And as Christians, we feel this even more poignantly; the lines between “God’s will” and “occupation” are often blurred.
In our eagerness to make a difference in the world and to have meaning, we define ourselves by what we do, rather than Who we do it for.
Lord, help me to live for You above all else. Amen.
