Lead by Example - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

<p>If we are attentive and vigilant, we can notice good qualities and virtues others possess and find ways to compliment and encourage them. Without this thoughtfulness, it is tempting to focus only on their flaws and limitations, which may lead to a lack of charity. Such diversion keeps us from examining <em>our own</em> lives and recognizing what needs to be changed with the grace of God. We should spend our energy participating in the Lord’s call to ongoing conversion within <em>ourselves</em>. At the same time, may we build up others by lifting their spirits and helping them recognize their potential. By doing so, we serve as an example for others rather than their judge. Living in this way will help us grow daily in the virtues of kindness and humility.</p>
