Be Faithful

I remember reading an article about Mother Teresa where she was visiting "House of Dying" with Mark Hatfield. She was asked how she could bear the load (that is, caring and ministering for the poor and the sick children) without being crushed by it, she replied, "My dear Senator, I am not called to be successful, I am called to be faithful."

Like Mother Teresa, may we be faithful to God, to the people He sends our way and to the talents, time, blessings and opportunities He's given us - no matter what.

On Doing Good

"A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart."  - Luke 6:45

May God's Word grow in our hearts so that we may be fruitful in every good word and action.

Choosing Kindness

"Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, KINDNESS, humility, gentleness, and patience." (Colossians 3:12)

Yes, we are encouraged not only to do no harm to anyone, but to do good to everyone. 

Be Patient

Don't slow down. Keep on doing good despite hardships and trials. And if you're waiting for God to answer your prayers, wait expectantly. Trust Him that in His perfect timing, He will bring things to pass. God is in control! He stands by you!

Sowing and Reaping

Don't be misled--you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. (Galatians 6:7)

"We shall reap, as we sow now." What a timely reminder! God sees our hearts and our actions. Thus, let nothing or no one hold us back from loving God and doing good - now!

Choosing Quietness

Like me, I know that you, too, would rather share SkyFlakes crackers with a friend while chatting happily and peacefully than eat filet mignon steak and fighting.

This verse is a good reminder on choosing a harmonious and loving family or relationship over selfishness, discontent and resentment that can ruin relationships.

May God's peace reign in our hearts today and everyday!
