The Word of God tells us about “home” not only our physical home, the place where we live, but also our working environment, the people around us.<\/span> Like it or not, we live in community, because we live with people, whether they are inside our home or in the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n

In our personal interaction each has a function, each has his\/her\u00a0importance.<\/span> In a family there are different people, different functions, but all are done.<\/span> Each is indispensable in what he or she does.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Word tells us about “cleanliness”, and inside our house there are also the “clean” and “dirty”.<\/span>Inside a house there is always the one who prays more, seeking more intimacy with the Lord.<\/span> God created us and knows us, knows the way we are in and out of our house.<\/span> He does not condemn one who is not pure, but states that the pure will be an instrument in the hands of the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more purified we are, the more the Lord will use us in the reality in which we live.<\/span> The Father wants to use us through our words, our smile and hug.<\/span> How will we be purified for the Lord to use us?<\/span> Some steps must follow:<\/span><\/p>\n

– Escape the passions of youth:<\/strong> Prostitution, unregulated sexuality and the diversion of sexuality have disfigured the youth.<\/span> Youth have their own passions, but with the help of the Holy Spirit they can get\u00a0control\u00a0them.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Search justice:<\/strong> be fair in everything and with everyone.<\/span> He that is righteous appreciates the work of another.<\/span> Always seek justice.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Search the faith, love, peace:<\/strong> Let us truly live faith, love and peace.<\/span> Let there be no strife between people.<\/span>\u00a0Do not nourish resentment or hatred.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Avoid foolish and unreasonable discussions:<\/strong> How many times do we get into silly situations that start small and become something huge!<\/span> Let us flee to silly arguments and unsubstantiated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us not waste the chance to learn from the other.<\/span> We too, teach those who are around us.<\/span> As for the opponents, there will always be people like that in our house and our life;<\/span> however, we have wisdom to instruct them gently.<\/span> God wants to guide us, so that we can guide people.<\/span><\/p>\n

God wants to do a great work in our families, and wants to start with\u00a0our heart.<\/span> Let us be used by God and let us flee from all that distances us from Him.<\/span> Seek peace,faith and love at all times .<\/span><\/p>\n

We are a useful vessel to the Lord.<\/span> We have a key\u00a0role in God’s hands;<\/span> regardless of who mingles with us, we all have a role and we complement each other.<\/span><\/p>\n
