Project 2020

Happy New Year 2020!

May the new year that begins, 

begin with the assurance of God's presence! 

A presence that brings peace, which is

the greatest of the blessings that we can pray for!

My meditation this day was on 

how to live this lovely new gift of 365 days that the Lord offers -

Project 2020, that is what I thought to myself of...

Project 2020

what would it consist of?

To Learn, not to pre-tend!

Due to pre-tendencies, we actually do not think anew

we go with our pre understandings, 

our judgements and prejudices 

our prior experiences and 

used-to practices; 

Instead let us try to learn...

try to learn anew

from every moment and every person

from every experience and every occasion 

Learning actually comes from listening, 

listening truly, sincerely, 

with a open heart to every thing that the Lord wants to say

through persons, events and experiences.

To Live, not to perform!

Sad it is that most of our life is spent

proving ourselves to others, 

pleasing others and serving others' eyes, 

So obsesses with these, 

we tend to live others' lives, 

others' opinions. others' expectations, 

others' approval and others' disapproval; 

Instead let us try to live...

live to the full

every moment and every opporunity

every day and every minute.

Living actually means receiving with gratitude

every day from the hands of God, 

and being ourselves, totally and fearlessly.

To Love, not to possess!

How difficult it is to really understand 

what it means to love, to really love

to wish the good of the other

without having to look for 

what I would receive or 

what I would lose.

In the name of love, we tend to hold on

we insist on being pleased, 

we long for satisfactions.

Instead let us try to love...

as loved God, in Christ

in every way giving

and never counting the cost.

Loving actually means acknowledging

that we are sustained every moment 

by the Love Supreme and we nothing without that Love.
