Stuff
God created us for love, not to acquire stuff. He created us to love Him and one another, not to love the stuff of this world.
God’s will
Free will
All things are under God’s dominion except our free will. That He doesn’t force. That He doesn’t conquer. He leaves it perfectly intact, so that we might respond freely to His call “Please open my eyes to Your guidance so that I can live a life fully pleasing to you.”
Thanks Dad
“You don’t get to pick how, or when, you die”(from my dad a few weeks before he died) Accept death and then get on with it.
Peace
Take care you remain tranquil and do not fear. Stand firm in your faith. That only God’s plan will win out
Conscience
Conscience is that secret sanctuary in which we are alone with God and hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to us in the depths of our heart. To violate one’s conscience, that is, to go against what we know to be true, is to deny ourselves what is most important to our salvation.
Success
There is no enduring accomplishment without God.True success is knowing (believing) in your God-given purpose on earthand totally dedicating yourself to itwith determination and passion. May those who read this be blessed with knowing their purpose.
Irony
The source of all loneliness is separation from God. To be close to God one must spend time alone.
Why fear death
“How unreasonable it is to pray that God’s will be done, and then not promptly obey it when he calls us from this world. Instead we struggle and resist like self-willed slaves” – St. Cyprian Follow God’s will through death.
