Reflection for the month:- 'Be an example to others'
Have you ever wondered how society has changed? You might ask, how come society has changed so much? Does real 'Love' still exist?
Every person is part of society. Every person in different ways influences society. So what can we do to see a better society? Can real 'Love' be the foundation of society?
All we can do is set a good example to others. We are to love the people we meet during the day, through the love of Christ. Christ is the treasure we are to give to others. When we truly 'Love' the other person, we will be giving him Christ. Society is waiting for Christ!
So, how can we be a good example to others? By helping our colleagues at the workplace. By spending quality time with our children and family. By helping our parish priest to be able to reach out to the parishioners. By sharing the love of God to the young generation. By being a messenger of peace through His love.
Of course, there are more ways how we can be an example to others to change society for the better. If only we were to stop and listen to His voice, and let Him show us what to do! If only we made more time to listen to Him! If only we were to do what He asks us to do!
Let us be an example to others... and give Christ to the people.
