Some time ago we talked about tolerance with people who offend us. Today we’ll talk briefly about tolerance with differences.

                        For our spiritual development, there’s no use being sympathetic and kind on social occasions, if in our minds we act as merciless judges of other people’s conduct. True tolerance manifests itself from the inside to the outside, meaning that we do not criticize because there’s no criticizing thought in our minds. If there’s no tolerance inside us, sooner or later we’ll express our real ideas, no matter how polite we might be, and then we’ll run the risk of being hurtful to our fellows.

                        We are all different and that difference is a divine resource to promote our learning on Earth. If we don’t exercise tolerance, besides wasting the opportunity of learning and evolving spiritually, we’ll nurture conflict on places where there should be friendship.

                        We can’t demand that people think and act the same way we do. Let’s place ourselves on other people’s shoes to understand them better.

                        When we cultivate tolerance, we bring peace to our relationships, but not just that: when we accept the idea that we must allow each person to follow his/her own way, we walk the road that leads to true peace inside us.

                        Have a blessed week, full of peace and harmony.

                        See you soon,

                 The difficult relative does not allow you to have peace.

                   The rude boss does not let you have the calm working environment you need.

                     The colleague embarrasses and upsets you systematically.

                        Do not give up on loving them.

                        Through fraternal love we forgive and understand others, in order to obtain forgiveness and comprehension to ourselves.

                        Who can guess what’s inside them, which sickness attacks their body and soul, what is the burden they have to carry?  

                        Do not give up on the fight of love and faith. It’s a fight not against the others, but against all evil that’s inside us: against the wish for a payback, for revenge, against the pride that blocks forgiveness.

                        On the hard times, be patient. Your most powerful weapons are silence and prayer.

                        Never give up on anyone, because all the people on our way are there for a reason, signalizing we have work to execute with them.

                        Fraternally,  

                        Euzébia Noleto

The most powerful tool of the world is right within reach – it does not destroy, only builds.  It is free and available for everyone to use. You just need to believe. This tool is faith. Do not forget to use it. Faith is not a matter of last resource, is the first and most important one! “Jesus said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Mathew 17:20

There is a role model to be followed – God mercifully allows us the return to the Earth so that we can be free of pending debts and evolve. But he did not leave us alone here, without knowing what to do: through the Jesus’ example, we were taught the lesson that guides us to Eternal Life, to the Real Life. Christ has left us all the knowledge we need, through His imperishable teachings; for us is left the decision of learning and practicing them. That’s why, no matter what the situation is, if you don’t know what to do, follow Jesus’ example.

You have a lot to offer – there are people who believe that they don’t have what it takes to be helpful for the community in which they live, because they aren’t on a prominent position on some activity. If you are one of them, do not be fooled by that thought. You have a lot to offer to everyone around you: your time, your presence, your joy, you friendly words, your example of patience and faith. All that can touch somebody’s life and renew it forever.

God knows what you have inside – there are sufferings you go through that no one could imagine. It may seem that you are alone, but you are not. God is with you, comforting you through the help of the Good Spirits, supporting you while you go through the liberating adversities.

There is so much to be thankful for – whatever your situation is, look around carefully: even on hard times, there is so much to be thankful for, starting by suffering, which is an opportunity of liberation and valuable learning.
