Faith

An Instrument of God

August 6, 2017 by John

I’m a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world. —Mother Teresa

Reflection: This giving woman reminds us that we can all be instruments of God and every one of us are part of God’s family. This knowledge allows us to experience peace, joy and the confidence to express love in everything we do. I guess in some small way I am sending my love letter to the world in the form of Treasures in Truth. If these quotes can uplift and help others to persevere when life is difficult, then I feel my book has served its purpose to spread joy and hope where it is needed. My good friend’s son is going through a painful divorce. During their recent conversations, she found herself picking up Treasures in Truth, choosing a quote at random and sharing the quote with her son. They now text each other quotes back and forth throughout the week. These words of wisdom have provided the inspiration needed to lift both their spirits through this ongoing process.

Faith

July 23, 2017 by John

What strikes me about all the quotes in Treasures in Truth are not just the richness of the words, but also their deeper meanings. Take for example, the following quote by St Augustine: Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe. My take on this quote is that St. Augustine is referring to the spiritual world. It seems as if at times the invisible world is in competition with the visible world. My recognition of God as spirit provides me with the understanding I need to bridge both worlds. Finding a quiet place daily and listening to the voice of God is my preferred method. Faith to me means starting each day with the intention of doing my very best. Reflecting on my day, I realize that my faith and God’s spirit support me even on the most difficult of days.
