Do The Truth Quietly Without Display.

Do You Believe That The God Of Jesus Loves You Beyond Worthiness And Unworthiness, Beyond Fidelity And Infidelity—that He Loves You In The Morning Sun And In The Evening Rain—that He Loves You When Your Intellect Denies It, Your Emotions Refuse It, Your Whole Being Rejects It. Do You Believe That God Loves Without Condition Or Reservation And Loves You This Moment As You Are And Not As You Should Be.

I've Decided That If I Had My Life To Live Over Again, I Would Not Only Climb More Mountains, Swim More Rivers, And Watch More Sunsets; I Wouldn't Only Jettison My Hot Water Bottle, Raincoat, Umbrella, Parachute, And Raft; I Would Not Only Go Barefoot Earlier In The Spring And Stay Out Later In The Fall; But I Would Devote Not One More Minute To Monitoring My Spiritual Growth. No, Not One.

May All Your Expectations Be Frustrated, May All Your Plans Be Thwarted, May All Your Desires Be Withered Into Nothingness, That You May Experience The Powerlessness And Poverty Of A Child And Sing And Dance In The Love Of God Who Is The Father, Son And Spirit.

Charles De Foucauld, The Found Of The Little Brothers Of Jesus, Wrote A Single Sentence That's Ahad A Profound Impact On My Life. He Said, "the One Thing We Owe Absolutely To God Is Never To Be Afraid Of Anything." Never To Be Afraid Of Anything, Even Death, Which, After All, Is But That Final Breakthrough Into The Open, Waiting, Outstretched Arms Of Abba.

Lord, When I Feel That What I'm Doing Is Insignificant And Unimportant, Help Me To Remember That Everything I Do Is Significant And Important In Your Eyes, Because You Love Me And You Put Me Here, And No One Else Can Do What I Am Doing In Exactly The Way I Do It.
