“To take in the Good News, we can’t be living in the cramped space of our sinful souls. We can’t have an “expect the worst” attitude. Instead, we repent, or change the minds that we have. Another way to get at this is to say that like is known by like. If God is love, then only a soul that is on fire with love will properly take him in.”

If we are consumed by hate, we will expel hate. If we are consumed by fear, we will expel fear. But if we begin our life anew renewing our heart and mind, we will have the receptacles ready and open to receive all the goodness and richness of the Lord. We will then expel the same to others.
