If Scripture  teaches us to do small things well, this is exactly what happens to people who,  with their whole heart, do only what God wants of them in the present.  If a person lives in the present, God lives in them and if God lives  them, charity is in them. Whoever lives the present is patient, perseverant,  meek, completely poor, pure, and merciful because he or she has love in its  highest and most genuine expression. He or she truly loves God with their whole  heart, their soul and their strength, is illuminated within, is guided by the  Holy Spirit and therefore does not judge, thinks no evil, loves their neighbour  as themselves, has the strength of evangelical folly to offer the other cheek,  to go for two miles\u2026 He or she often has the opportunity to give to Caesar  what is Caesar\u2019s because in many present moments, he or she has to fully live  their life as a citizen&#8230; and so on.  Whoever lives the present is in  Christ the Truth.  And that satisfies, satisfies the soul that would like  to possess everything in every moment of life.
