Moreover God will not employ you to contribute to the
advancement of souls in virtue, because we cannot make others
practice what we ourselves
scarcely know. --
Imitation of Blessed Virgin Mary, by Saint Ambrose.
We
are all living in a world where we love to give advice to others what we do not
know that’s why God is not interested in hypocrites but those who practice the
Word of God and grow in virtues.
If
we do not know anything we cannot teach others the same. First of all we have
to know the Word of God and secondly we have to apply the same Word of God in
our life to experience ourselves miracles and once we know surely about it then
only we have to open our mouth with others.
If
we open our mouth with others without knowing the Word of God thoroughly then there
is a possibility to make fool out of ourselves and also we will be in confusion
when they ask questions about things we do not know.
If
we have experienced ourselves anything from the Lord in our life then only we
can teach others the same. We should not be in a hurry to do things connected
to God because of the learning period involved after that only we can teach
others.
We
study in school for 17 years to get a degree and then only someone will employ
us to do their job in the same way we have to learn about God for at least 5
years so that we may understand and teach the same to others.
If
we grow in virtues, we can make others grow in virtues, if we go through sufferings,
trials, persecution, false accusations, pains and overcome it, we can teach
others to do the same.
Let
us practice what we preach so that we do not look like hypocrites who only like
to preach to others and they themselves do not practice. Let us practice
everything with commitment so that we may know everything we preach to others.
