My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.
God’s love is free. He asks for nothing in return; all he wants is for his love to be accepted.
The world tells us to seek success, power and money; God tells us to seek humility, service and love.

Having faith does not mean having no difficulties, but having the strength to face them, knowing we are not alone.
Take care of brothers and sisters who are weaker. . . the elderly, the sick, the hungry, the homeless and strangers, because we will be judged on this.
You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That's how prayer works.
