REFLECTIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR

(From the writings of Harold Warbeirn)

Because the world is poor and starving,

Go with bread

Because the world is filled with fear,

Go with courage

Because the world is in despair,

Go with hope

Because the world is living lies,

Go with truth

Because the world is sick with sorrow,

Go with joy

Because the world is weary of wars,

Go with peace

Because the world is seldom fair,

Go with justice

Because the world is under judgment,

Go with mercy

Because the world will die without it,

Go with love.

 

First Corinthians 13 tells us that “love is patient and kind. It does not envy, nor boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It does not seek its own way, is not easily angered, and keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices in the truth. Love believes, hopes and endures. Love never fails.”
