If there is one thing I do not like about people is the accommodation in which people stand in their comfort zone.<\/span>\u00a0These days, I experienced a situation in my work, which led me to reflect on this: where am I accommodated in my relationship with God?<\/span>\u00a0Where did I park because I thought I was ok?<\/span>Where did I stop growing because I simply gave in to my own self-indulgence?<\/span><\/p>\n

My brothers and sisters, just as in our professional life, we must always be refreshing ourselves in our spiritual life as well.<\/span>\u00a0We must always ask God for the grace of newness, to grow, to fight, not to accommodate ourselves.<\/span>\u00a0We need to take steps!<\/span>\u00a0Making a parallel with the human body, if we do not walk, our body becomes tired;<\/span>\u00a0In the same way, if we do not walk on the road with God, we are getting discouraged and tired.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us return today to seek the Lord more actively, and not to become used to His presence.<\/span>God is always a novelty!<\/span><\/p>\n

Your His brother,<\/span><\/p>\n
