Weekly Quote 16

By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another - (Jn 13:35) I SHALL BE A GOOD INFLUENCE IN MY WORLD



The Mediterranean world of the Master with its hinterland was as filled with different ideas and conflict as ours. What distinguishes anyone in such a world? Money, power, cleverness are commonplace. And the size of social institutions probably records little more than conformity.

But love never fails to impress. What lies in those who find time to give of themselves regardless of return? What turns the attention of some from hostility and abuse directed at them? Why are some so calmly brave in the face of danger? There is something strong and good within them. What is it?

The tree is known by its fruit. That is a principle that can be accepted by both materialist and idealist. So, if you would become a good influence in your world, express the Good that resides in you. Be an ambassador of your Father's kingdom, inviting the curiosity of others to visit it.The Path of Truth
