Is not this the true romantic feeling - not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.

Cheryl,

That's a great quote.

This is another amazing one.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding.

The highest form of knowledge . . . is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world.

It requires profound, purpose larger than the self kind of understanding."

If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow.

Hi Roger,

Those are both great quotes for reflection. Very important to realize that our opinions give nothing of lasting significance.

Suspending our own egos to live in someone else's world is exactly what Christ did. Interesting that's what he taught.

A higher purpose or a larger purpose than self, The correlation just struck me as I read your quotes. I'm reflecting this evening on what Jesus did for me (& all of us),

In a nutshell your quotes have shown the essence of what he taught. There is a higher purpose than just to live for self, and if we are living lives of compassion and unconditional love then we are fulfilling greatest commands that God gave. To love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. And to love our neighbor as ourselves. Imagine what kind of world we would all live in if we followed what Christ taught.

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40)

I love your quotes and how they tie into what Jesus did for us and all of mankind.

Thank you for sharing these thought provoking quotes. They are simple, yet difficult to fulfill.
Yet with his help we can do it.

Have a blessed Easter,

Cheryl

Still At Work

Your bonds as light as kite string
Were easily broken,

And the confinement of the darkened tomb
Could not contain you now

As your kite form lifted above transparent walls
To defy all,

Your work, and your Father's work now done...
I suppose you want to rest?...

There you are again working among men you have chosen,
Preparing them, to build their faith and your church ----

So for forty days you let them and others see you.
Don't you want a rest Lord?


....Alas

You've gone to your Father's side.
To relax?

You say, now you'll send the Comforter
And he'll remind me of all that you've said,

And now....
You'll be at work in the hearts of many more.

When I get weary I rest and when I feel lazy, I relax...

And you're still at work!
