“What a weakness it is to love Jesus Christ only when He Caresses us, and to be cold immediately once He afflicts us. This is not true love. Those who love thus, love themselves too much to love God with all their heart.” — St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
We need to be careful to not believe the “Gospel of Prosperity.” If we are truly following Christ, we should not be surprised that he would allow adversity and trials…so necessary for spiritual and moral growth and this is when Christ discovers who are his true friends. When is gets really tough, try to see Christ asking you, “Do you love me? Do you really love me?”
