What matters it to a truly loving soul whether God be served by this means or another? - ST. FRANCIS DE SALES

These saints just get right to the heart of things, don’t they? As St. Francis De Sales tells us today, if our love is true, and by true I think he means life-giving and unselfish, it shouldn’t matter how God’s kingdom is built up on earth. In other words, it doesn’t have to be my way or the highway. God has blessed each of us with unique gifts that we are to use to serve Him and His kingdom on earth. There is no way we will all do it the same way. God didn’t plan it that way!

Maybe what we need to work on is becoming a ‘truly loving soul.’ It is a great blessing to have people in life who show us who Jesus is by the way they love and serve God and neighbor. Our goal should be to become one of those people! Through the grace, mercy, and love of God, we can be a truly loving soul, serve our Lord with joy, and bring glory to God and His kingdom on earth. Let’s pray, pray, pray, and get busy cultivating a loving soul!

Jesus, I trust in you.
