To love the poor is to reveal to them their call from God, and to help them grow as persons by overcoming their weaknesses and divisions and by fulfilling the mission God entrusted to them.
A sacrifice is a surrender of something for the sake of something or someone else. Our sacrifice is to allow God to be our life, to make us like him and to prepare us to reflect his own glory.
Through obedience to God’s will, we are freed of our selfishness and the limits of our present condition, and we are prepared for another and everlasting state.

Indeed, He is. Amen to that! I believe, and based on experience all these years– faith is nothing if we have not applied our faith into hearing with active action. Otherwise, we’d be liken to all-thunder-and-lightning without rain. All professors of faith but no impact on other people’s hearts because there are no good works.

Thanks for your post.

I like your post about god for me leading a god life is posible if i let god drive and i take a back seat when im driving its all about me i relate to the statement faith with out works is dead i understand its an inside job today

There are six things Yahweh hates; seven inner being detests: the proud look, the lying tongue, hands which spill innocent blood, the depraved heart, feet which speed towards evil, a false and lying witness and the one who sows discord among people.-Proverbs 6:16-19
