This weekend I saw the movie Mother Teresa with Olivia Hussey. It was really humbling to see someone who truly strove to be the image of Christ. Her passion was in comforting the unwanted and dying people of Calcutta, whom most people would consider a futile cause. She was the epitome of persistent strength and gentle compassion - a tough combination to uphold simultaneously.
I thank God that He continues to bring helpers into this world. I pray that He will help me to be more like Christ and continue to forgive me when I fall short. He knows that my heart desires to be his "pencil" as He "writes". May the hand of God take over my every choice and movement. Praise the Lord!
-------------------Mother Teresa's Own Words----------------------------
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. We are all pencils in the hand of God.
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat. The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
