Daily Devotional Based on the Spiritual Classic He and I

At a “taking of the veil”. “See the simplicity of love in everything, even in the very little things. Why shouldn’t the little things be as precious as the big ones if they belong to your love-life? (June 9, 1939).

18 Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:18).

21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.’ (Matthew 25:21).

42 And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.” (Matthew 10:42).

O Lord You tell Gabrielle Bossis today and us that it is not the big things but the very little things that please You. Little acts done with great love! Whether it is an act of reverence, an encouraging word for someone, faithfulness to our daily duties no matter how mundane they may seem or little acts of service these acts done with simplicity and purity of intention do not escape Your notice and they are precious in Your Eyes! O Lord why do we make it all so complicated? Why do we not realize how easy it can be to please the Heart of Our Father and Greatest Friend when all is done for love of You?! Lord help us see these opportunities each day to let our little lights shine for Your Glory and to save souls!
