Look out for chances to serve others
Many are dispirited at their poverty, or misfortune; they hang their heads and fold their arms, and blame God for their plight. It is like the magnet and the piece of iron. The iron weeps that the magnet does not draw it. “I have no legs to walk, no wings to fly, no muscles to crawl or creep! How can I reach the magnet?” it wails. The magnet replies, “you are encrusted with rest, dust, and layers of mud; get rid of them and automatically, without any other ado, you can contact me and be with me for ever.” It is sheer audacity to say, with all the rust and dust on, that God has no power to grant Grace; nor is it a sign of intelligence to say that God has no compassion in Him. Examine yourselves, purify the heart and fill it with love towards all men and God will be with you.
