Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience
"The best portion of a good man's life:
his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love."
- William Wordsworth
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."
Colossians 3:12
Dear God,please do give me insight,
and give that I can take on an attitude of unselfishness,
can bring up patience, gentlesness
and give my love to others.
Nederlandse versie / Dutch version > Kleed jezelf met compassie, zachtheid, vriendelijkheid, nederigheid, en geduld

Believing to understand
“For I do not seek to understand that I may believe,
but I believe in order to understand.
For this I believe -
that unless I believe,
I should not understand.”
Anselm Of Canterbury

A gift of 86,400 seconds
"God gave you the gift of 86,400 seconds today.
Have you used one to say, 'thank you?'"
- William Arthur Ward
"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name."
Psalm 100:4
Dear God,I thank you for all the things around me,
and appreciate your works every minute of the day.

Two forms of Freedom
There are in fact two forms of freedom - the false where we are free to do what we like; and the true where we are free to do what God likes.
Perhaps we all need to take time occasionally to reflect on our Christian life and ask ourselves two questions. What have I been saved to? How true is my freedom?
Think about it!

Charity never humiliates
Charity never humiliated him who profited from it,
nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude,
since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.
