Living one day at a time, but living it for the Lord

 
St. Francis de Sales gave us this powerful insight into daily living, “Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life with fear; rather look upon them with strong hope that, as they arise, God, whose child you are, will deliver you from them.”  Having faith and trust in God and God’s plan is much harder when our crosses are heavy.

St. Paul teaches us, “There is but one body and one Spirit, just as there is but one hope given all of you by your call. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is our all, and works through all, and is in all.”  (St. Paul Letter to the Ephesians 4:3,4) Again, we look to Francis de Sales, who tells us that the Christian Life is a life of Prayer, a life in which we are called to “Live Jesus.”

You and I are called to be Saints - - that is the goal of Christian life, and

St. Paul points to that goal, when he writes, “No longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” 

 

I want to end with a practical insight in living our faith in a world with a lot of darkness, “Don’t waste your time trying to get people to love you. Instead, spend your time loving people and the other will follow.”

Let the light of Jesus Christ shine through you today, the world will have a bright light.

May God Be Praised!
