Great Love

"You can do no great things, just small things with great love." Mother Teresa

I have always loved this quote. It reminds me of a simple truth in life, which is, to love others. Not only to love, but to love them greatly, whole-heartedly and unashamedly. Sounds simple enough. But I tend to spend so much time searching for the greatness I will/can achieve; or wasting many hours wondering upon how great I can become and asking the Lord constantly, "when is it my turn to be great?" It's such a vicious cycle that I am in; constantly running in circles trying to be considered great and praise worthy. Yet true greatness is easily obtained by the love that I give to the world. The small simple truth is to have and show GREAT LOVE!

Whoo Hoo!!

View Points

"We are all apt to believe what the world believes about us." George Eliot

I find that it's true, at least for me, that we are more likely to believe what others have to say about us. Which can be positive and negative! If people believe in us and encourage us to be all we can be, then we see that in ourselves. However, if there is someone who is constantly berating and belittling us, we lose faith and believe that we don't have any worth.

How do we overcome? How do we put aside what others have to say about us and look only to the Lord? I ask myself this every day. I know that I know, God's view of me, is far better than anything I can imagine myself. It's becoming quite apparent to me that I need to take time every day to look at myself, and those around me, with God's eyes. My eyes can be deceptive. But, if I look with the eyes of the Lord, oh the beauty that would be before me.

Change

My life is in a season of change. And those who know me well, know that I have a bittersweet relationship with change. Change is hard for me, even change that is for the better. But right now God is changing my world upside down. I can't complain, I asked for it. For the past 2 months, I have been asking the Lord to radically change my life. And let me say, my world is definitely being radically changed.

(note to self: be more specific in my prayers or be prepared for the consequences!)

~~~Breathe in, Breathe out, Breathe in, Breathe out ~~~

So each day I remind myself to take deep breaths and to go with the flow. My journey is not my own anymore. I have to get out of the way and let God guide my steps. (I can do it, I can!)

Now, I'll just wait and see what unfolds....
