Living authentically

Countless faiths have pondered on the idea of who will be saved? What about those who have never heard the Gospel? Are we on the right side? And all this talk of a ‘narrow door’ is a bit unnerving!

What matters is to act, to do courageously all that lies within our power to enter. Live authentically, it doesn’t matter if what you do is noticed or not. Ultimately you have to face yourself in the mirror. you have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes. you can steer yourself any direction you choose.

As schools return this week, a story from the East might help. An elderly sage was educating his young disciples about life. It tells of a dreadful battle that goes on in every person between two great lions. One lion is wicked: he is fear, rage , jealousy, sadness, greed, pride, self-pity, shame, hatred, weakness, lies, rivalry and superiority. The other lion is good: he is happiness, harmony, love, trust, sharing, peace, modesty, gentleness, compassion, friendship, understanding, charity, truth, kindness and loyalty. He was asked; ‘which lion will win?’ The answer: ‘The one you feed the most’. Which of the two lions within you do you make the strongest?
