Genesis 16:1-12, 15-16, Ps 106, Matthew 7:21-29

A deep impression

We all receive positive comments and affirmations. However, should there be just one negative word, we seem to let this over-shadow all the good. Our mood changes. We brow-beat ourselves. How much better, then, to listen carefully to those who enable us; who enliven us; who inspire us; who empower us. Like those who listened to Jesus, we should let their words make a deep and life-changing impression on us.
