Blessed are you, servant of God, if you do not consider yourself any better when you are honored and extolled by others than when you are considered low and simple and despised; for what you are before God, that is what you are, and no more.

Brother Fra Chris, people in the world love us and they hate us. Men are so fickle! God is true - unchanging - in both His love and His commmitment to us. His love and desire for our welfare are total, and totally selfless. Why do we care what people think? Why is their opinion more important than God's?! This is worrisome. God help us to care about what He cares about, love what He loves and do as He does. I think, thereinif found the peace of God, comfort for the weary soul. Peace brother!
