Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” John 14:6

When I wonder what to do with my life, I look to Jesus as my teacher and model. I follow his way of noticing and greeting others with kindness and respect. I learn to offer a warm smile, a listening ear, an encouraging word, and to be a healing, peaceful presence.

I follow the way of Jesus by forgiving those who have hurt me. I learn to choose mercy over condemnation, reconciliation over resentment, unity over divisiveness.

I follow the way of Jesus by spending quiet time with God. I make the choice to put my faith in God’s wisdom and guidance. I learn to keep love at the center of my life.

Today I will ask for the grace to put my trust in the Lord and follow his way of love and compassion.
