GN: Our Lord urges us to keep on trying

Knowing that we have failed many times to improve our lives may be quite discouraging. Our inability to free ourselves from our favorite sins may keep us from persevering. But despite the difficulties involved, we should not quit because God never gives up on us. Our Lord urges us to keep on trying.

There's much to explore

We are discovering more new possibilities in the universe that God has created. There's much for us to explore especially with our relationship with others and the environment. It would be such a waste of space and potential if we allow ourselves to be overly affected by our own problems.

GN: God invited us to be instrument of mercy

Each of us has a set of limitations that we try to conquer. We know how difficult it can be to pick up the pieces especially after experiencing a bad fall. God invited us to be instrument of mercy. We're called to be patient with others as they attempt to transform limitations into new possibilities.

GN: Behind a great achievement lies a significant experience of failure

Usually, behind a great achievement lies a significant experience of failure. Experiencing the worst enables us to hope and to reach for something better. Such moments can make us more aware of God's activity in our lives.

Recall the difficulties you had lately. Can you see the Lord in those trials?
