Scripture:   Ephesians 4:1 to 6

I urge you to live in a manner that is worthy of the call God has given you.

Live with humility and gentleness.

Be patient.

Bear with one another in a loving way.

Try to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Live in the hope of your call.

Remain one in faith.

Reflection

What is the road I should walk? What path should I choose?

Every day I have choices to make. I know that God is calling me to listen to the voice of God and to choose a path that echoes our passage from Ephesians.

My path begins in faith. I place my trust in God.

My next step is one of hope. I feel that God is with me.

I try to be humble and realize that my life is not about me and what I can accomplish. I am called to serve what God wants me to do.

I have to walk in a gentle way. The earth is a precious gift, and I must cherish it and be a good steward.

I must be patient on my path. I will not accomplish everything that I would like to do in one day. I am on a journey and my call unfolds over time.

As I walk forward, I have to be mindful of others and try to listen to their needs and feelings in order to preserve that unity which comes from the Holy Spirit. I know that God wants all of us to work together and to build the Kingdom of God together.

I will try to walk in a way that is worthy of the call that God has given to me and to all of us. It is a call to love one another and to embrace each person with the Love that walks with us.

Enjoy your walk!
