A bit of Mother Teresa

I am in the process of reading through the book, "Something Beautiful For God" by Malcom Muggeridge.  This book is a little bit about the life of Mother Teresa.  Let me just say....she was an amazing woman, so passionately in love with, and sold out for Jesus.  Just reading about her life is contagious....it motivates me to want to love Jesus more.  Let me give you some of her awesome quotes.  They are powerful, so please actually read them (I too, am guilty of skimming through quotes!)


  "Love to pray - feel often during the day the need for prayer, and take trouble to pray.  Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of himself.  Ask and seek, and your heart will grow big enough to receive him and keep him as your own."


  "Make sure that you let God's grace work in your souls by accepting whatever he gives you, and giving him whatever he takes from you.  True holiness consists in doing God's will with a smile."


  "Be kind and merciful.  Let no no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier.  Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting....To children, to the poor, to all who suffer and are lonely, give always a happy smile - Give them not only your care, but also your heart. "


 "We learn humility through accepting humiliations cheerfully."




  I'm so thankful that God led me too read this book....I hope these quotes encouraged you! :-)
