My proverb
“Empathy should be both practiced and encouraged.”
If you are excellent at receiving empathy in times of suffering, be sure you are also well practiced.
If you are excellent at empathizing with those who suffer, be sure you are gracious in receiving it.
One should excel in them both.
Sovereignty
“Doubtless…Aslan will be our good lord, whether he means us to live or die. And all’s one, for that. Now, by my counsel, we shall all kneel and kiss his likeness, and then all shake hands one with another, as true friends that may shortly be parted. And then, let us descend into the city and take the adventure that is sent us.”
The Silver Chair – C.S. Lewis
Thoughts for the day
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice! Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication make your requests known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and mind with peace through Jesus Christ. Finally, whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, if there is any excellence, if anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and seen — practice these things and the God of peace with be with you.
I tell you, do not be anxious about your life nor about your body. Is not life more than these things? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?And which of you be being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Therefore do not be anxious. But seek first the kingdom of God. So do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
