For a good day – from the pen of a hagioassistent

STEPS TO ETERNITY

I wish you a good day! What are your plans for today, dear reader?

Have you planned to do a lot of things today?

What goals have you set for yourself today? Do you believe that you will be able to achieve them all? We often put a myriad of tasks and jobs in front of us, however, it is not the number of tasks completed that determines our success and makes us satisfied.

It can even lead us to be frustrated and dissatisfied, and sometimes angry at ourselves because we did not get everything done or things didn’t turn out the way we planned.

The important question for us is – where have our jobs and all those small and big steps we take in the day taken us?

Have you, by your thoughts, words and deeds paved the way that leads you to immortality, to eternity? Do you see, in things you do, just an opportunity to gain an earthly salary, status or reputation among people? In your family, in your workplace, in traffic, in the store, were you the one that others could rely on, find acceptance and compassion in? Will you bring good and truth to this world today through the things you do? How will it be visible, by what fruits?

Stop… listen to your soul and hear it say to you: Do not wander the wrong paths and waste time on earth given to you on empty and useless things… There is only one path that leads to Life… Walk boldly through it! Fear not, the Creator’s gaze follows you every step of the way!

This day is decisive for each of us… We do not have yesterday, it has disappeared… We do not have tomorrow, there is nothing we can do in it yet, it has yet to come… We have only today, and we have only now.

So, dare, step forward and may all your work be blessed today!
