How will I reveal His love to her? Not with what may seem like empty platitudes to her. Not with quoting Scripture. Not with heavy-handed lectures on why she should believe. Not with reason. Nor with passion. But with love. Simple acts of love that show her that God&#39;s love is not earned by our level of belief. It just is.&quot;<br /><br />That right there is a precious thought and a big reminder to me thanks hon!Tracy @Magnolia Cul-de-Sachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15254871932134809248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-72218805341664729352009-11-07T17:41:54.356-05:002009-11-07T17:41:54.356-05:00Thanks Kate!!!

Here it is:<br /><br />&quot;In response to and to further your observation that we can believe for others, we recently watched the swashbuckler &#39;The Count of Monte Cristo.&#39; One of the lines in the movie was &#39;...I no longer believe in God,&#39; (due to Edmond Dantes&#39; unjust incarceration), and the response was &#39;...Aah, that doesn&#39;t matter, because he believes in you.&#39; I thought that was worth pondering too.&quot;Kate Wicker @ Momopolyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08275574075771328329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-43566541493183730632009-11-06T17:08:16.590-05:002009-11-06T17:08:16.590-05:00Thanks for sharing this beautiful homily. Too many times have I fallen into the un-Christian category in my frustration that others can&#39;t see the beauty in the Church.
