What the Lord requires


He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?  —Micah 6:8


"He must increase : I must decrease."  —John 3:30
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.  —Luke 9:23-24

"We lose more and more of our true inner human expression when we become the expression of our own separate existence; we lose ourselves by seeking ourselves, we withdraw from the world which we refuse to love. It is only when we love the world that we truly experience ourselves." ~Rudolf Steiner, Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts
