 FEBRUARY 28 Maturing in Christ |
PRAYER. Dearest God, assist me by Your grace to be a mature Christian. Help me to be a doer and not a dreamer. |
|
WHEN we outgrow our childhood, we
but approach God's likeness, Who
has no youth nor age, and Who is
supremely blessed, because He is
supremely holy.
Let us beware of indulging a mere barren faith and love, which dreams instead of working. For the Holy Spirit is the Author of active good works and leads us to the observance of all lowly deeds of ordinary obedience as the most pleasing sacrifice to God. |
