Choice

I work with a number of people as either some sort of mentor or spiritual director and I always attempt to address them from a position of love, seeking only the best for them with no anger or selfish motive. On those (rare?) occasions when I do sense some sort of ulterior or selfish motive within myself, I remain silent since I wish to do no harm. I need to always keep in mind that whatever path a person chooses (consciously or unconsciously) to take is the right one for them, and love them regardless. In the words of De Mello "God weaves perfect designs with the threads of our lives," he said. "Even with our sins. We can’t see this because we’re looking at the reverse side of the tapestry."
