A Thesis on Personal Improvement

[!]

 Deacon Jude enters his small study after a long day. As he enters the room he goes immediately to a small spruce pew in the corner. He does his evening prayers then rises and makes his way over to his desk. The desk is littered in papers and old thesis’. He then sits, finds a small piece of parchment, dips his owl feather quill into the marble blue inkwell and begins to write.

“Brothers and Sisters of the faith, as I was walking on the road today, I was stopped by a man who seemed to be in his late thirties. When he stopped me, he knew I was a man of God and asked me a question, “Deacon? How can I make myself better? How can I improve myself?” I was a bit taken aback by this because I had not really spoken much or even given the topic much thought. I mean, I always thought I could be a better person, but I never really reflected on how to personally improve myself. Now that I think upon it, we can improve ourselves to not only better ourselves and others, but to strengthen our relationship with the Lord God. We need to take time to sit back and look at ourselves and realize that we are not all perfect. I believe that if we start out improving the small things we can slowly begin to improve ourselves and those around us. How many of us living beings are proud of our flaws? The natural inclination is to try and improve it, right? We all have many faults, whether it be greed, lack of faith, or even lust. We need to fix these things to become closer to God and closer to one another. Not too many people will openly admit a flaw. If we really take time to sit back and reflect on ourselves, we will slowly grow in faith and wisdom. We will grow physically, mentally, and most of all spiritually if we improve our flaws. Now, I am not saying this as someone who believes they are perfect, no, not at all. I too am a human and I come with flaws just like anybody else does. I too need to work on myself and how act. Now, when we look back at ourselves, do we see someone who is helpful, loving, kind, faithful, and full of God’s grace? Do we bully others, tear them down, hate, or even possibly kill? These are the things that destroy our relationship with God, but if we begin to improve these things, our relation with the Lord becomes strong and healthy once again. Now, I will leave you with this, just take some time to reflect on yourself and do not be quick to point out other’s flaws because you may have more than they do.”

Creator Bless,

Deacon Jude of Petrus
