A Charitable Loss

gracelinesheader

“It is a noble achievement for a Christianhumility 1 to have no disputes with anyone. But if by any circumstance or temptation, a dispute arises, let him try to remain composed, even if this means losing.”

                            -Anonymous
           (Teaching of the Twelve Apostles)

 

For Reflection:

How often am I willing to walk away from a confrontation? Do I remain composed by exercising patience? Am I willing to “lose” in charity rather than press my advantage
through pride?
