Just thought I'd share some recent things I've been reflecting on, and which I feel God has been speaking to my heart to teach me how to love more fully.
Colossians 3:12-17
"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against one another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
"Peace requires much understanding and good will. For even when we like another person there is always something that one or another finds displeasing. That is when godly patience, the font of all blessedness, is necessary!’ ~ Bl. John XXIII
"We all have our failings, if not in one area than in another. We should be accommodating to all. To all – for in God’s sight they may be more deserving than we." ~ Bl. John XXIII
