Sailing with Paul
We're all familiar with cartoon pictures of a shipwrecked mariner casting a bottle into the ocean with his plea for help. Today, the world is filled with pleas for help—floating along in bottles, or as messages on the Internet. A spiritual yearning is increasingly evident all over the world. This yearning is increasingly evident all over the world. This yearning is like a great sail seeking for a wind to carry it forward.
The responses can take many forms. But the only ones that will effectively fill this sail and move humanity forward are generated by the heart. When a heart has been awakened by the message of Truth and animated by the power of Love, it becomes an enormous influence for good. We may have the opportunity to help the world on a macro scale or a one-to-one scale. Both are signficant; it's the quality of the heart at work that makes all the difference.
