There is a great mystery of hope contained in Christ’s words and we should take courage from it -“if you love me keep my commandments.” He invites us to remain faithful. His words are not about easy successes. In the struggle to build a better world we are His instruments given with open eyes, ears, and hearts to what is good, true and beautiful. We can do this by living our lives of remarkable goodness in simple ways. If we are willing to place our lives in His hands, He will accept and bless us and make such use of us beyond our greatest expectations.
