He who invites us to follow will always be out in front of us with His Spirit and influence setting the pace. He has charted and marked the course, opened the gates, and shown the way. He has invited us to come unto Him, and the best time to enjoy His companionship is straightway. We can best get on the course and stay on the course by doing as Jesus did-make a total commitment to do the will of His Father.
We often equate charity with visiting the sick, taking in casseroles to those in need, or sharing our excess with those who are less fortunate. But really, true charity is much, much more.

And when the virtue of charity becomes implanted in your heart, you are never the same again.

Go God's way! His is the most reliable route to follow when life gets complicated. It will have its tough moments, but you will never regret it.
Music is the noise that surrounds the stillness of the art form.
