Good Intentions

When we look at others it may well do good to look with kindness. It is not good to always question the motives of the other. The great mystic, Saint Teresa of Avila once wrote,  “Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's, if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.”

Lord, may we find reason always to believe in the good intentions of others. If at all there action shows otherwise may we still find goodness in them. Amen.
