Just two weeks before the semester break, such an exciting moments: to finish the works to be able to enjoy a little bit time outside routines. I am really happy when looking back passing such toiling time but only Lord's faithfulness stands fast and in Him everything is joyful.
It is so humbling for me to see again in every moment of my days how the Lord reveals His great Love so deliberately and 'as much as we could bear'. While confessing my narrow and clouded mind, how easy I got upset when things did not go as I wish, I bear in mind that He is ever Loving God. I cannot help but thanking Him for every moment He permits to come to my life. For the angels of peace, fellow travellers, guides, rebukes and every signs He puts along the way....
Today as I open again the book of Mother Gavrilia, I am paused in awe with such genuine beauty and truth!
"...It is something like a gift from God... This is how I understand it. Do you know why? Because I never linger on any problem, not even my own... When the person leaves, I have no thought. I rejoice with flower; I look at the sky; or something like that. And it is again, God and I on earth... Do you understand? When God created us, He said: 《Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind" (that is, with all the strength of your being) 《and thy neighbour as thyself》..."
How I need to hear this. Thank you Mother Lila, please pray to the Lord our God for us :).
Son, I also rejoice that you are reading Mother Lila's book and finding the great treasures that God has stored there. He loads His servants with blessed wisdom and love in abundance, so all who wanto to, can share it and benefit from it. Glory to God!
