Some encouragement today

Is there something within you that needs mending? Is there some issue in your life that needs repairing? Is there something deep down inside that you know needs adjustment, improvement, or maybe even radical surgery? Well then, let this be a cause for humility and compassion. Don’t be surprised or judgmental when you hear or read about the foibles, mistakes, crimes and misdemeanors of others, because we are all in the same boat, you and I and them, when it comes right down to it:

We are all in need of mending. We are all in need of encouragement. We are all in need of peace. We all need hugs. We all need to be kissed with the kiss of peace. We all need an infusion into our lives of the perfection of a life beyond what we can obtain. And the Good News is that if we rest in God, he will supply what is lacking in us.
