BOGASTVO KOJE DOLAZI OD BOGA

Sve bogatstvo ovoga svijeta ponekad se skriva u nečemu vrlo jednostavnom — u zahvalnosti i u osmijehu djeteta koje s ljubavlju nahraniš.

U osmijehu djeteta ima nešto od neba. Njegove oči govore više nego mnoge riječi. Kada dijete primi kruh i ljubav, tada ne prima samo hranu za tijelo, nego osjeti da nije zaboravljeno, da je voljeno i dragocjeno u Božjim očima.

Nahraniti dijete s ljubavlju znači prepoznati u njemu Krista. Bog često dolazi tiho, skriven u malenima i jednostavnima. U svakom djetetu koje susretnemo, Bog nam daje priliku da ljubimo i da činimo dobro.

Što je svrha našega života ako ne pronaći živoga Boga? A Boga često nalazimo upravo ondje gdje je najviše potrebe — u očima djeteta, u njegovoj jednostavnoj radosti i u njegovoj zahvalnosti.

Onaj koji pronađe Boga, pronašao je najveće bogatstvo. To bogatstvo ne ispunja samo ruke, nego prije svega srce. Ono hrani dušu i donosi mir koji svijet ne može dati.

Božje bogatstvo ulazi tiho u čovjekov život. Ono donosi radost, nadu i miris Božje ljubavi.

A osmijeh djeteta koje je nahranjeno s ljubavlju postaje mali znak da je Bog blizu i da ljubav uvijek ima posljednju riječ.

THE WEALTH THAT COMES FROM GOD

All the wealth of this world is sometimes hidden in something very simple — in the gratitude and the smile of a child whom you feed with love.

In a child’s smile there is something of heaven. Their eyes speak more than many words. When a child receives bread and love, they do not receive only food for the body, but also feel that they are not forgotten, that they are loved and precious in God’s eyes.

To feed a child with love means to recognize Christ in them. God often comes quietly, hidden in the small and the simple. In every child we meet, God gives us the opportunity to love and to do good.

What is the purpose of our life if not to find the living God? And we often find God precisely where the need is greatest — in the eyes of a child, in their simple joy, and in their gratitude.

The one who finds God has found the greatest treasure. This treasure does not fill only our hands, but above all our hearts. It nourishes the soul and brings a peace that the world cannot give.

God’s wealth enters a person’s life quietly. It brings joy, hope, and the fragrance of God’s love.

And the smile of a child who has been fed with love becomes a small sign that God is near and that love always has the final word.
