How does this touch your HEART?

DO IT ANYWAY

Written By Mother Theresa

People are often unreasonable, illogical,

and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, People may accuse you

of selfish, ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some

false friends and some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,

people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone

could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,

they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,

people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,

and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,

it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway

    This is what Galatians 5:10,12 says....

    10) I have confidence through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded (bothered): but he that trouble you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

    12) I would they were cut off which trouble you

    God have been saying it all along through the Apostle Paul, way before Mother Teresa came on the scene. I guess she reiterated it in her own words.

    The whole chapter stated above is in regards to this very thing, "Keep pressing on towards the mark of the High calling of God", no matter, come what may!

    Be blessed in the Lord!

    Source(s): Receiving and believing the Word of God in it's entirety.

    This was amazing and inspiring until i read its between me and "god"

    i don't believe in such a silly fairy man that can give us what we want (pray = wishing?)

    why torment animals but be amazingly nice to other people?

    it makes no sense to me..

    but thank you for the inspiration
