Whoever wants to please everybody, ends up by displeasing everybody…including himself.

Daily Reflection

We would like to thank all our friends who supplied us with these 'Reflections of Life' which we are sharing with the Internet Community. We encourage you to purchase the books from which these reflections are quoted!

We are reluctant to give up the driver's seat, to let go of the steering wheel of our lives. Slowly, persistently, Jesus presents the challenge of Faith: "Seek first the Kingdom of God.....Let go and let God have His way in your life." This challenge of Faith, this letting go and letting God, this turning of our lives over to the plans and formulas of a higher wisdom is no simple matter, is it ?

It is something like signing a blank cheque and handing it over to God, to let Him fill in all the amounts: of success, and failure, of joy and sorrow, even the number of days of our lives. Only a deep and trusting Faith can make such a surrender. We could never do this if we did not believe that God loves us more than any mother ever loved her child.
