A thought for today

• Jesus wants his followers to live life to the full. (“I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” John 10:10).
• But our enjoyment of life should be in a spirit of gratitude and humility. Real humility is not weakness. Meekness and gentleness are not cowardice. Humility arises from genuine self-awareness, while meekness and gentleness arise from compassion.
• We need these qualities if we are to live at peace with each other. We need them if we are to help others and be helped by them.
• They are essential qualities if we are serious about changing the world to better reflect the will of God.
