Your Life Is Not About You

Words of wisdom from Bishop Robert Barron:

“Faith is an attitude of trust in the presence of God. Faith is openness to what God will reveal, do, and invite. It should be obvious that in dealing with the infinite, all-powerful person who is God, we are never in control.

“One of the most fundamental statements of faith is this: your life is not about you. You’re not in control. This is not your project. Rather, you are part of God’s great design. To believe this in your bones and to act accordingly is to have faith. When we operate out of this transformed vision, amazing things can happen, for we have surrendered to ‘a power already at work in us that can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.’ Even a tiny bit of faith makes an extraordinary difference.”

Be Christ for all. Bring Christ to all. See Christ in all.
