Anyway
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 your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
~Mother Teresa~
God has really been tugging at my heart with a lot of social things. I struggle with having healthy Godly boundaries and lately I have been at war with myself.
I found this poem this Sunday...Mother's Day....
I was having a tough day and then I read this. It made me think about all the things I was dealing with and it put things in perspective.
I want to be more like God & less like the world....but why am I soo tainted!!!
I guess I just have to be patience....and do the work...struggle but learn.
