Don't Worry About Playing The Fool!
(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) "We hear the Lord knocking on the door and calling us by name. We sense something drawing us to Jesus…But we are afraid to say “Yes”. We are afraid of what people will think. It has never been popular to follow Jesus. To be His disciple means becoming a fool in the eyes of the world…We are afraid and hesitate to follow the Lord because we are not secure in His love. If we knew deep down that He died on the cross out of love for each of us, we wouldn’t worry about playing the fool. We would be afraid not to follow Jesus, instead of afraid to follow Him. When we know we are loved by God Himself, unconditionally, sacrificially, and eternally, we are freed from worldly manipulation and freed for obedience to Jesus."

It Makes No Difference Where You Are
(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) Some people imagine, if they were in another place, or married to a different spouse, or had a different job, or had more money, they could do God's work so much better. The truth is that it makes no difference where they are; it all depends on whether what they are doing is God's will and done for love of Him. Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
Will You Stand Up For What You Believe?
(Photo©Michael Seagriff) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work. Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings. One Bread, One Body , October 21, 1999
