A Helper
I am a God-called helper. That is my calling: a helper. I am called to contribute to the completion, the honour, and the care of another. The ways are open to a life-time journey of discovery, but perhaps in the life-long process it is good to remember the aim: I am a helper, helping one I love to be what God intends, not what I intend. When I love someone, I love him for what he is, not for what I want to make of him. I must not dedicate myself to reforming and making him a man in my image, rather, to give myself to God and allow Him to use me in developing His very image in the man I love.
