Sweet Peace

There is sweet peace for the compassionate spirit, a blessed satisfaction in the life of self-forgetful service for the good of others. MB 23

Here it is again! The balance that both giving and receiving bring. As I give compassion and self forgetful service, I receive "sweet peace" and "blessed satisfaction". How cool is that? When I am other centered I receive far more than I give. It appears to me that my receiving of peace and satisfaction is in direct proportion to the compassion and self-forgetful service that I give.
Precious Jesus,
I want to have a compassionate heart like yours. Please fill my heart so full that there is no room for anything else other than love and compassion. I have none in me to give and so any compassion that flows from me will be totally from You and You alone.
Change My heart O God
Make it ever new
Change my heart Oh God
May I be like you.

You are the potter, I am the clay
Mold me and make me,
That is what I pray.

Change my heart O God
Make it ever new
Change my heart of God
May I be like You.

Sigh. Happiness. It all comes from you. Only YOU!
