00:00The Chibi News Daily Reflection

00:04Hi, I'm Richard England, Vicar of Crofton Parish.

00:09Would you like to be a better person?

00:12I know I would.

00:13Most of us want to be better people.

00:15Most of our friends and family want us to be better people too.

00:18If you had to write down one or two ways in which you want to be a better person,

00:23what would you write?

00:24Less short-tempered?

00:26Harder working?

00:28Patient?

00:29Kinder?

00:30Less stuck in particular patterns of behavior?

00:32Less anxious?

00:34One of the things the Holy Spirit does is change us.

00:37I think this is one of the main things that puts people off exploring faith

00:41because they think it will change them.

00:44Well, it will.

00:45That might not be a bad thing.

00:47You see, the Holy Spirit isn't interested in making us more religious or more judgmental.

00:52He's interested in making us more like Jesus.

00:54That means kinder, more generous, more at peace in ourselves.

00:58Becoming more like Jesus actually means being more ourselves, at least the best version of ourselves.

01:06We'll never be perfect, and there are limits to how much a person will completely change.

01:10But the good news is that we are not alone in our desire to be better people.

01:14That's the work the Holy Spirit wants to do in us.

01:18We'll never be perfect.

01:19We'll never catch what we say.

01:32After you soon!
