    Seeing the Miracle of Multiplication

    7 | May | 2018

     

    The opposite of a scarcity mentality is an abundancy mentality.

    With an abundancy mentality we say: “There is enough for everyone, more than enough: food, knowledge, love … everything.” With this mind-set we give away whatever we have, to whomever we meet. When we see hungry people we give them food. When we meet ignorant people we share our knowledge; when we encounter people in need of love, we offer them friendship and affection and hospitality and introduce them to our family and friends.

     

    When we live with this mind-set, we will see the miracle that what we give away multiplies: food, knowledge, love … everything. There will even be many leftovers.

    Friends and Their Unique Gifts

    2 | May | 2018

     

    No two friends are the same. Each has his or her own gift for us. When we expect one friend to have all we need, we will always be hypercritical, never completely happy with what he or she does have.

     

    One friend may offer us affection, another may stimulate our minds, another may strengthen our souls. The more able we are to receive the different gifts our friends have to give us, the more able we will be to offer our own unique but limited gifts. Thus, friendships create a beautiful tapestry of love.

     

    Bạn bè và những món quà độc đáo của họ

    2 | Tháng 5 | 2018

     

    Không có hai người bạn nào giống nhau. Mỗi người đều có món quà riêng cho chúng ta. Khi chúng ta mong đợi một người bạn có tất cả những gì chúng ta cần, chúng ta sẽ luôn thái quá, không bao giờ hoàn toàn hài lòng với những gì người đó có.

     

    Một người bạn có thể mang đến cho chúng ta tình cảm, một người khác có thể kích thích tâm trí của chúng ta, một người khác có thể củng cố tâm hồn chúng ta. Chúng ta càng có nhiều khả năng nhận được những món quà khác nhau mà bạn bè của chúng ta tặng cho chúng ta, chúng ta càng có thể tặng những món quà độc đáo nhưng có giới hạn của riêng mình. Vì vậy, tình bạn tạo nên một tấm thảm đẹp của tình yêu.

    Writing, Opening a Deep Well

    28 | April | 2018

     

    Writing is not just jotting down ideas.

    Often we say: “I don’t know what to write. I have no thoughts worth writing down.” But much good writing emerges from the process of writing itself. As we simply sit down in front of a sheet of paper and start to express in words what is on our minds or in our hearts, new ideas emerge, ideas that can surprise us and lead us to inner places we hardly knew were there.

     

    One of the most satisfying aspects of writing is that it can open in us deep wells of hidden treasures that are beautiful for us as well as for others to see.

    Losing and Gaining Our Lives

    30 | April | 2018

     

    The great paradox of life is that those who lose their lives will gain them.

    This paradox becomes visible in very ordinary situations. If we cling to our friends, we may lose them, but when we are nonpossessive in our relationships, we will make many friends. When fame is what we seek and desire, it often vanishes as soon as we acquire it, but when we have no need to be known, we might be remembered long after our deaths. When we want to be in the center, we easily end up on the margins, but when we are free enough to be wherever we must be, we find ourselves often in the center.

     

    Giving away our lives for others is the greatest of all human arts. This will gain us our lives.

    Question from Above

    26 | April | 2018

     

    What are spiritual questions? They are questions from above.

    Most questions people ask of Jesus are questions from below, such as the question about which of a woman’s seven husbands she will be married to in the resurrection. Jesus does not answer this question because it comes from a legalistic mind-set. It is a question from below.

     

    Often Jesus responds by changing this question. In the case of the woman with seven husbands he says, “At the resurrection men and women do not marry – have you never read what God himself said to you: ‘I am God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?’

    He is God not of the dead but of the living” (Matthew 22:23-30).

     

    We have to keep looking for the spiritual question if we want spiritual answers.
