An invitation

You undertook, together, to invite the Holy Spirit into your relationship.

He could not have entered otherwise. Although you may have made many mistakes since then, you have also made enormous efforts to help Him do His work.

And He has not been lacking in appreciation for all you have done for Him. Nor does He see the mistakes at all. Have you been similarly grateful to your brother?

Have you consistently appreciated the good efforts, and overlooked mistakes? Or has your appreciation flickered and grown dim in what seemed to be the light of the mistakes?

Perhaps you are now entering upon a campaign to blame him for the discomfort of the situation in which you find yourself.

And by this lack of thanks and gratitude you make yourself unable to express the holy instant, and thus lose sight of it.
