Live in love

2018-08-22 by RNDL

Let all that you do be done in love, wrote the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians. One who has no love for the Lord is accursed, he said. Last, he transmits his love to all of his brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. He had said earlier that love for God causes one to be […]

Restart

2018-08-21 by RNDL

You can do a restart in your mind or heart at any time. It might be the beginning of a new year, week, or day. It might be in the afternoon, after a bad morning. It might be at the top of the hour. Nothing requires you to wait to reorganize your thoughts or to […]

Limits of life and of the Spirit

2018-08-20 by RNDL

Respect the limits of life and of the Spirit, O Soul. Some things you can do for other people, but some things they must do for themselves. Each one must carry his own burden. You must carry your own burden as well. No one owes anyone a free lunch. You must develop your own faith. […]

2018-08-16 by RNDL

A fish out of water. That is what you will often feel like, O Soul, as you engage people in the world and live among them. How must Jesus have felt among publicans and prostitutes?

Never enough

2018-08-07 by RNDL

Never think you’ve done enough or worked long enough to have reached a point of rest or retirement. Such thinking belies the grace of God. “Enough” is for the one who believes that merit attaches to effort. The goodness of God does not cease. The war for your soul and for the souls of others […]

In every word and act

2018-08-05 by RNDL

O Soul, in every word and act, offer hope. Show love. Build faith. Point the way. Promote peace. Tell the truth. Put away harshness and bitterness. Exercise patience. Avoid dead-end discussions and pointless debates. You must try the spirits, test all teachings, expose error, and stop the mouths of those who lead others astray, but […]
