Our harshness to others is but a reflection of our harshness towards ourselves. And quite often, it also reflects how we think of God. Once we begin to see God’s kindness, we start to change in the way we treat ourselves and the people around us.
God is in all things that are beautiful, pure and true. We may not see Him face to face yet. But we can see His fingerprints in all that He has made. We can find traces of His reflection in all that moves and lives in peace, self-giving and love.
Let us always strive to seek for the truth. Truth, when finally revealed to us, sets us free, humbles us, and gives us a warm and grateful heart!
People who are most idealistic could very well be the saddest and bitterest also unless they find their ideals in Christ who alone is able to satisfy our Highest and Most Sublime thoughts while at the same time grounding all these in Truth.
“Shall I tell you the secret of the whole world? It’s that we have only seen the back of the world. We see everything from behind, and it looks brutal. That is not a tree, but the back of a tree. That is not a cloud, but the back of a cloud. Cannot you see that everything is stooping and hiding a face? If we could only get round in front–” – G.K. Chesterton
