When looking at a person of faith, one must remember that to them it’s no mere perception, philosophy, or dogma that they hold in their mind.

Just like how a fine suit doesn’t make the man, an ornate building doesn’t make the church.

…is that we as a species aren’t damaged by the impact of such an unnatural situation that 2020 has compelled…where ever fear lies,..

Human ambition consists of seeking higher positions, greater titles, more money, enhanced power, further control, and ‘bragging rights.’

Everything we see and touch is perishable; to a mind that thinks of the long-term or the greater picture, such perishable goods aren’t worthy of investment.

Denying ‘self’ or dying to ‘self’ opens up a new mindset; a new universe of thoughts, intents, desires, ambitions, and emotions.

Often translated as self-control, there’s nothing egotistical, ‘self’ oriented, or of one’s own strength when contemplating Spiritual temperance.

One of the most comforting things to see is a figure who has incredible authority over others…

To exhibit faithfulness is to operate healthily and holistically with integrity and optimism, even when circumstances look terrible and feel painful for a prolonged and seemingly hopeless time.

Being charitable when no one is able to congratulate or measure such a gesture is a strong sign of goodness.
