But - the greatest of these is Love.
You will work with a range of humans -
young and old.
You will be working with young humans
from different backgrounds.
You may have the privilege of those with
Polish accents,
Albanian accents
Pakistani accents
other faiths
other cultures,
those with a differing economic status,
academic abilities and more.
You will understand them fully
ONLY if there is intimacy.
Building a positive,
helping relationship
seems to me
to be pretty important.
No matter what the cultural background,
economic, academic state may be -
there is one language
which is understood by all.
That is the language of Love.
Love needs to predominate
over our passion for engagement,
sport, faith, relationships, church whatever.
They can tell if you love them.
Love seeps through the pores of your skin,
in your eyes, in your face and body language.
Especially your facial expression = 55% of communication.
Love is largely non-verbal,
just like all communication.
May you journey into love.
Falling increasingly in love -
passionately with your creator.
