It is not easy to live with small doses of joy. A party today, a memorial tomorrow, a joke that a friend tells us, a cheerful comment from a coworker, a funny situation at home. But between one laugh and another you will have moments of loneliness, sadness, worry, and insecurity.

It would be great that everyone had within an inexhaustible source of joy, something that would give us joy and constant welfare, regardless of the circumstances, good or bad. So we would be happier more time. Faced with the most serious problems, we would have a smile, peace and inner satisfaction, something out of the ordinary, a peace that surpasses our understanding, a source of inner joy.

This would be the end of dependence on small doses of joy and loneliness to break up the uncertain moments of life.

Jesus compared the Holy Spirit to a living source in our hearts. An inexhaustible source of life and joy, because the Spirit of God is also joy. This is what you need. Ask God to give you the Holy Spirit. He is the inner source of joy and life!

Good And Evil
Today’s Reading: Proverbs 16:1-9 Version CEV
When a scientist discovers a new formula or a new invention, in most cases is attempting to make available some kind of benefit to mankind, providing a great service.

On the other hand, however, there is always someone waiting, ready to misuse the invention; to transform it into something bad, to change what was invented or created for good into something evil.

It seems that evil is part of humanity. Although God created man in his likeness, as time went by, man became and turned into something evil. It is impressive to see some people creating and others destroying.

Why does this happen? Perhaps because in man exists the selfish desire of supremacy, profit and power. To achieve certain goals, all means are justified, that is what they say.

How can a person, created in the image and likeness of God, let angels and at the same time demons influence him?

Our consolation, our comfort is to know that God guides the destiny of the universe and of our individual lives. Our hope is in God; through His Spirit He opens our hearts and His will becomes ours. Only then, good takes hold of our lives and dwells around us.

You All Need Love

Spirit of Love

Today’s Reading: 1 John 4:19-21
“You all need love,” said an old song, performed by a group whose members separated because of hatred.

Love and hate cannot coexist. Because ” But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.,” it is what the Bible says.

The fruit of love is forgiveness and hatred is the result of the dispute. We are always in the middle of this battle. At every step, we have to choose between love and hate, between forgiveness and strife.

That fight is tough, so we must remember: nobody faced such hatred as Jesus, and no one has responded to the hatred with love.

The love of Jesus, which brings forgiveness and life, enables us to love one another, sweeping our hearts hatred and strife.

“We love because he first loved us,” says the Bible. And he says: “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.”
