Holiness is not found in house that can whether a storm because it is made of brick and mortar and stands tall in its own majesty, but in a soul that is too weak to stand on its own and is strengthened by the Word of God.

The prayer of a humble servant
Lord, I know you will reward a faithful servant. Grant me the grace not to abandon your Word in times of peace or sorrow in search for my own glory, but to wait for the glory that you will bestow upon me; which is the fruit of your Word.
Seeing the truth
Our two eyes cannot see the truth; only the superficial. Truth is seen through an open mind; a soul that has let go of the ego to receive the Word of God.
Truth comes as whole
An inflated ego will narrow your mind to see only what you are looking for; the rest of the picture is hidden from you.When you look with a squint, you will not see the truth, because truth comes as whole.
Finding Truth
Truth is not found in what we are expecting because our expectations superimpose our self perceptions on reality.Truth is found when we do not know what we will find, and so we approach everything with an open mind.
Sorrow
Sorrow makes us realize how frail we are in our flesh.Sorrow urges us to draw strength from our spirit in order to overcome the weaknesses of the flesh.
