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!
