Adaptability

Knowing how to adapt without abandoning one’s ideal

July 17th 2024

For disciples, adaptability means opening up, having intuition and tact, sensing the right word to say and the right moment to say it, knowing the best time for action, and finally, finding the right attitude. But all this must be accomplished without ever losing sight of their ideal, and without compromising the spiritual principles of honesty, uprightness and integrity. Understood in this way, adaptability calls for strength of character and a subtle intelligence.
Their convictions must remain firm and unshakeable, but at the same time, disciples must demonstrate their ability to be adaptable. Even when cut into pieces, true servants of God remain steadfast in their love and faith.*
