He is One and there is no other than he.
And to love him with all your heart,
with all your understanding,
with all your strength,
and to love your neighbor as yourself
is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices

In a team of like minded humans , as a competitive human I am always thinking how to be at my best. This can often lead to clashes of egos and issues when faults are found and errors made! It is a cut throat competition amongst us as we try to work as a team to help our patients!

Often love is lost and words are said and feelings hurt, happens when no one expects it! I am part of it or I am causing it often – till one day I realised we work with the worst affected by the ” C ” word who suffer way more than our petty work issues.

I sat and thought over what I am doing and realised after much prayer that I should learn to move on and not dwell over petty issues. Learn to keep a forgiving heart and helping hand!

Loving others is hard! not impossible! Let us try to see Jesus in everyone!

PRAYER

Into your hands I give my stressors and worries! Help me to accept everyone and love them as they are!

AMEN.
