You cannot teach faith;
you have to radiate faith.
You cannot tell others to hope;
you have to radiate hope.
You cannot describe love;
you have to radiate love.
You cannot give what you do not have.
You cannot radiate goodness
unless you are filled with goodness.
You cannot radiate light
unless you are filled with light
You cannot radiate peace
unless you are filled with peace.
You cannot radiate mercy
unless you are filled with mercy.
You cannot radiate Christ
unless you are filled with Christ.
One must be emptied to be filled.
Humility is the secret the saints shout,
because pride and selfishness
leave no space to be filled.
You cannot give what you do not have.
Let God radiate through you.
