All of us want to do something grand to show our love
our loved ones. It would be marvellous if we have the
opportunity to do it. But, we don’t need to carry out
grand things in order to show great love for others and
for God. We don’t have to do big things only small things
with great love. It is the intensity of love we put into our
actions every day that makes them into something
beautiful for God and for others. It is not the magnitude
of our action that counts but the depth of love we put
into it.
A smile, a handshake, a word of encouragement, a
phone call, a card, an embrace, a kind greeting,
a gesture of support, a moment of attention, a helping hand,
a present,a visit---all these are little steps toward love.
Each step is like a candle burning in the night.
It does not take the darkness away, but it
guides us through the darkness. When we look
back after many small steps of love, we will discover
that we have made a long and beautiful journey.
Therefore ...
"Give some a smile, visit someone for a short time,
make a fire for someone who is cold, read something to
someone. These are small things, very small,
but they will make your love for God more concrete."
