“Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come,”—Henri Nouwen.
Life is about sowing and reaping—what you sow is what you reap. This is the principle that guides the wise; and no wonder great men have entirely sold out to sowing bits of love that will bear great fruits tomorrow.
You must face the consequences of every action you take, and every decision you make in life. That is why you need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask a few questions. Henri Nouwen has provided samples of some of the questions you can ask yourself; they will help you chart a course for your life.
