· Each human heart is a temple wherein God dwells It does not take much to make most people feel more at ease. More than we know, people are used to being ignored or passed over, or, only given a cursory nod of attention. So, when someone smiles at them, and talks to them it can be a time of joy. We are made for relationships with God, as well as with others. Much suffering is brought about by treating others as if they are props on a stage or something to be used. Jesus meant it when he said, whatever you do to the least, you do to me. each human heart is a temple wherein God dwells, each precious, irreplaceable. It is not always easy to be open to others because each of us has a burden to carry that can a times be very draining. When we pray to the Lord to become a more loving human being, that is one prayer that will be answered for sure. We learn from our failures; it is then that we go in deep and pray for the ability to love as Jesus asks each of us to do. To be a follower of Jesus is to over time become truly human and loving towards even our enemies. It is grace from God, we cannot do this on our own. -Br. MD
If I am honest about my personal failures, sins, and shortcomings, then humility creates an openness to be attentive to others. Haughtiness shrinks and tenderness grows. But you are right: To be a follower of Jesus is to over time become truly human and loving towards even our enemies. It is grace from God, we cannot do this on our own. Thank you, Brother Mark!
