Day 29 - Forget Not To Be Human

366 Days of Compassion and God's Promises in the Bible

We must not forget the things that make us human. Friends, family, love – these are the things that truly give meaning to our lives.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.” - Matthew 23:23, WEBBE

Our humanity is a gift.

We may experience moments of weakness or pain. We may get frustrated at times for all the imperfections of life. But we must never forget the valuable things that we do have in this life.

Life is not all about efficiency and productivity. It is important to meet our goals, but we must never forget the substance of all our undertakings.

What are we really trying to accomplish? Are we forgetting something along the way?

To be human is not to be like a machine who can perfectly accomplish its tasks. It is to be able to rise from our falls again and again because we have a spirit that knows how to love, because we have a higher calling that reaches out towards eternity.
