GIFTS OF TRUE UNDERSTANDING
We Do Not Truly Understand...
Joy...
until we face sorrow.
Faith...
until it is tested.
Peace...
until faced with conflict.
Trust...
until we are betrayed.
Love...
until it is lost.
Hope...
until confronted with doubts.
Then when faced with these things, we arrive at a place deeper than mental understanding. It is a place called experience.
Experience then brings knowing...
... and we come to know joy, faith, peace, trust, love, and hope beyond all doubt.
Then we can share these blessings as the most valuable gifts we have to give.

UNDERSTANDING
To understand is to love,
to look out upon the world and see there in
the human conflicts, the pain, the joys, sorrows, and agonies
in sensitive hearts who seek refuge and help,
who need a stronger power to guide their lives.
To understand is to have compassion on the multitudes,
to hate sin but not the sinner.
It is to know weakness, yet rise above it,
to see it in others, yet not condemn,
but uplift those hearts and encourage
them to go on to better things.
To understand- to truly understand is to suffer with others,
to desire to relieve their pain and to take it on oneself.
it is to sympathize, to truly live and love
with a full heart made wide and full.
This is understanding.
This is love.
