In our daily lives, trust is much like faith on a spiritual path. Life’s imperfections can’t give us the true satisfaction found in perfection. Doing things without expecting returns cleans up our act and brings us closer to freedom. Perhaps because sacrifice is about giving ourselves up completely to God.
The scriptures praise household life for spiritual growth, but warn that we shouldn’t get lost in its pleasures and forget our duties. Rather, our very work should serve as a devotion to God.
Family life doesn’t block our path to God, but enhances it. We may just need to commit our actions to Him and accept life as He shapes it.
Real happiness comes from connecting deeply with God, not from material success.
