“Someone has said we do not save others by changing and converting and developing them; we redeem them by the love that accepts them and serves them as they are.”

                                                   --Sister Miriam of the Holy Spirit, O.C.D. (Jessica Powers)

For Reflection:

Who is that one person in my life whom I have been trying to change and convert by “developing them”?  In what ways have I tried to do this? What better way does the quote suggest? How can I begin to change my approach?
