We grow in spirit as we live our lives


Poem Artwork

 “If anyone has material possessions 

And sees his brother in need but has no 
Pity on him, how can the love of God be
in him?  Dear children, let us not love 
with words or tongue, but with actions
and in truth.”
(1John 3:17-18)
 
Spiritual Growth
.
As we go about our daily routine
Each and every day we are given
Opportunities to grow spiritually
.
Every time we reach out to help  
Someone without expecting anything
In return our inner light glows 
In our immortal soul
.
Sometimes you may be asked to 
Just listen to someone who has 
Suffered the death of a loved one.
To hold them and show that you care
.
There will be other times when you 
Might be asked to help with a problem
That someone is having in their home life.
Open your heart and show that you understand
.
Helping us to grow spiritually you will find
Many different roads to travel on
Some you might have to take on your own
While others you might find yourself in
The company of many people
.
All seeking the same thing 
Looking for peace and Gods ‘open arms
.

One does not have to have external guidance in order to internally possess the traits of compassion and understanding. This kind of behavior is even seen in animals, particularly towards the young. One generally has to feel secure within in order to be able to provide comfort and security for others.

Studies have shown that the poor show more charity and compassion that the rich. One would think that it would be the other way around.
