True Love...

A friend of mine, Jeannie Harper, posted this on Facebook today...  It is such a good reminder of what true love is about, that I am re-posting it here.  Thank you Jeannie!!

"Is it possible for the rose to say, 'I will give my fragrance to the good people who smell me, but I will withhold it from the bad?' 

Or is it possible for the lamp to say, 'I will give my light to the good people in this room, but I will withhold it from the evil people?'

Or can a tree say, 'I'll give my shade to the good people who rest under me, but I will withhold it from the bad?'

These are images of what love is about."

~Anthony de Mello, Jesuit Priest (1931 - 1987)

Renewal, Transformation and God's Will...

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing, and perfect will.   ~Romans 12:2


In what way do you go about "renewing" your mind?  How you renew your mind, and who or what you allow to be a part of that renewal, will most likely determine how you are "transformed"...  If you wish to know God's "good, pleasing and perfect will" for your life, then God's Holy Spirit must be the One in whom and through whom your renewal is accomplished.

Just something for you to reflect on as you go about your Saturday activities...
