A message for Easter, and indeed for Passover which ends on Easter Day. This message is about a kind of code of honour, twelve commandments:
- Respond with care and power to the one that wounds you.
- Do not hurt or fight with gentle people.
- Care nothing for your life, nurture others with your concern. Weep less for yourself, spread joy selflessly, save your tears for another’s tragedy.
- Remain silent, except to the truth.
- Promise nothing.
- Do not let your intellect become the slave of emotion. Let your emotions serve your intellect, as a powerful banked fire would serve a house. Be not angry.
- What you need, give away, and what you do not need, relinquish; surrender your possessions as if they were another’s joy and your burden.
- Surrender your soul with love to the power of the Spirit of God.
- Tomorrow is God’s. Yesterday is dead. Remember you are a child of today.
- Never permit anyone to trap you with fear, for fear is evil.
- Never trap yourself with pride, for pride is evil.
- Trust God always.
