What causes do we support?

It has been a long while since I made an entry here. It has been a busy time at work and at home that it's rare to find time to pen down my thoughts and reflections. Tonight is one of those rare moments...

We celebrated Pentecost Sunday 2 week's back and Father's sermon is still fresh in my mind. I'm not sure if you are aware of the recent objections in Australia to the export of cattle to Indonesia. I hear it on the news every now and then. Apparently, it was the cruel way that cattle were slaughtered in Indonesia that brought about this. It was a big thing since it made its way to Parliament and was the talking point for a long time. 

Father brought up the irony of how people can be so against this but can be easy with abortions that are common sight everywhere. It brings us to question the causes that we support.  Are we seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit in this matter? I think what causes we support form a huge part of us and we need to allow the Holy Spirit to form us into the person God has made us to be. As I ponder about the causes that I support, the person that I am and have become, I realise that I need more of the Holy Spirit more and more every day. I have come to understand that the more we allow the Spirit to work within us, the better we get at discerning what is the right thing to do, to channel our efforts and time towards.

Keep me always in your sight Lord, and may your Spirit be ever present in my life and in my being. May we all make the right decision to follow the promptings of the Spirit in all that we do.
