Daily Bread - Feb 22nd - Humility
Pride vs Humility.
"He must increase in importance, while I must decrease in importance." (John 3:30)
"We need to understand what humility is and what it isn’t. Some people believe that humility is putting ourselves down: saying that we aren’t smart, or aren’t pretty, or aren’t anything good. This isn’t true.
We all need to have a healthy sense of self-esteem and be secure in what God made us and the gifts he has blessed us with.
So humility is not thinking less of ourselves. Rather it is thinking thinking less about ourselves. Take the focus off us and put it on somebody else, and we’re on our way to being humble."

Daily Bread - Feb 14th
What is Love?
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongdoing.
It does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith, hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever:
Faith, hope, and love;
But the greatest of them all is love.
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Daily Bread - Feb 13th - Inspiration
Saintly Steps - Inspirations.
"In this world there is no fruitfulness without suffering--either
physical pain, secret sorrow, or trials known sometimes only to
God. When good thoughts and generous resolutions have sprung up in
our souls through reading the lives of the Saints, we ought not to
content ourselves, as in the case of profane books, with paying a
certain tribute of admiration to the genius of their authors--we
should rather consider the price which, doubtless, they have paid
for that supernatural good they have produced."
St. Theresa - Help us to act on the inspirations we receive!

Daily Bread - Feb 12th - Worry
Why Worry?
"Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart." (Philippians 4:6)
