"Serve God. He will take care of the results."
-St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Today's Reflection:
Thérèse’s trust in God knew no bounds! Her focus was always on serving and loving Him, and letting Him take care of the rest. Where is my focus in life? Am I about serving God or achieving a certain result? Is it possible for me to leave these results to God, or do I need to control the outcome?
Little Flower, your simplicity of soul is so admirable — and yet seems so far out of reach for me. I can get so caught up in the minutiae of my endeavors that I fail to realize that I’m not giving God any room to act. Help me to sharpen my vision so that it might become more focused on the supernatural than the natural.
