Jean Vanier’s Daily Thought – Monday,
30 December 2013 - “Finding Happiness”
The beauty of human beings lies
in their capacity to accept who they are, just as they are; not to live in a
world of dreams or illusions, in anger or despair, wanting to be other than
they are, or trying to run away from reality. They realize that they have the
right to be themselves. And there, they discover that they are loved by god,
that they are unique and important for God and that they can do things for
others. We may not all be called to do great things that make the headlines,
but we are all called to love and be loved, wherever we may be. We are called
to be open and to grow in love and thus to communicate life to others,
especially to those in need.(Jean Vanier, Seeing Beyond Depression, pages 86,88)
