Carla, you're lucky to have such a wise friend. What he expresses is exactly something I need to discover. Jesus' way is the lowly way--a way I don't particularly like to go, but nevertheless is the way to life. I think it was Mother Teresa who said: "God is not looking for us to do great things. He wants us to do small things with great love."
I remember a wise friend (initials CEM) once saying “My goal is to become the most ordinary Christian I can.” Not bad! And when I compare myself to Christ, I can’t help but place myself in that category of ordinariness. I’m reminded of Brother Lawrence whose sole desire was to please God and to hourly seek his presence through prayer and glorification no matter what the humble chores he was engaged in.
