Thought For Today - 2/4/10

With regard to our actions towards other, we may have something difficult and challenging to express to someone.

Taking the time to pray and ask God how to address the situation and consider how we would feel if we were in his or her shoes will enable us to communicate more sensitively than we would if we just expressed ourselves from our own perspective.

When we look at any situation as God would look at it, we probably will modify our approach by taking their feelings into account. We can then and only then look at it in bringing benefit to that person and ourselves equally.

The more we do this, the more we reaffirm our integrity and the integrity of our relationship to the world and with God.

Much love,
Joseph
