Wisdom of Acceptance
Fear and faith can be opposite sides of the same coin. But as I’m maturing in my perspective of life, I’m realizing I have a choice on which side I decide to stand.

In an ever- changing world that preys on people’s fear and thrives in the sensational, do you find yourself grounded and letting nothing disturb you?

In our beautiful and broken world, we see hostile situations arise daily, whether it’s a new war between countries or conflict in our homes. As Christians, we are given God’s gift of peace. This is a choice to always turn to peace and we need to nurture and grow this within ourselves. Our peace directly impacts our families and those we encounter each day, bringing light into the world. This is creating a culture of mercy and compassion which calls for a constant state of forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no peace.
Forgiveness adds dignity.
As Pope Francis recently said, “forgiveness takes away nothing from you but adds dignity to the person, it makes us lift our gaze from ourselves towards others, to see them as fragile as we are, yet always brothers and sisters in the Lord. Brothers and sisters, forgiveness is the wellspring of a zeal that becomes mercy and calls us to a humble and joyful holiness.”
Thank you, Lord, for helping us see that Your peace is the missing ingredient in our hearts.

The more I wake up to living life, I feel a steady barometer for my well-being is my state of peace. Peace is a gift we are given by God but it is a hard one to fully receive.
Continue reading “Receiving Peace”Stained Glasses
Recently I’m seeing how my self-sufficiency has colored the lens of my life, especially stunting my capacity for spiritual growth. My mindset was one of sacrifice that hardened my heart rather than of one of soft desire to live a life of love. But through my constant willingness to surrender to God’s plan, I’m learning that obedience is better than sacrifice. The stains from the lens with which I’m viewing the world is adjusting to a more loving view of the world.

Festive fall decorations and pumpkin spiced lattes seem to be everywhere I turn. As we start to enjoy a respite from the summer heat, a change in season is a good time to reflect on the goodness from the gift of your life.
