In the Bible, Jesus tells his disciples that serving the sick and the desolate is serving the Christ: "In asmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of my brethren, ye have done it unto me." We must not only serve others who are hungry and despairing, but also those "least" parts of ourselves in need of compassion, tenderness, and practical care.
Today, know that Love is not punishing you. Any suffering is merely place for you to open and invite Love to be fully present. We can't, therefore, hide our suffering or shame from ourselves, out of denial or a sense that we should endure stoically, but offer it with humility and openness to Love.
