If you think you are humble, you aren’t. A measure of your humility is by not knowing how great your qualities really are.

Many consider Abraham, the Biblical patriarch who initiated monotheism, to be the most influential person in history. He endured extremely difficult trials, not the least was having to offer to sacrifice his son. Yet he overcame every one and became endeared to The Omnipresent.

You have been given the same opportunities. . . yes, opportunities! Difficult trials give you the chance to overcome them, no matter how extreme, and then you will also become endeared to Him.

Some disputes are good to debate, for they are matters of principle. Unfortunately, many devolve into a personal matter. Such can be our nature. What starts out as a clean debate turns dirty with negative passion.

You have been given a gift when you can keep matters of the mind separate from matters of the heart.

A virtuous mind comes through acts of goodness, but the purity of your mind comes through your soul.
