Lightly Salted Part 4
Quote
“People are often unreasonable and self-centred. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
Mother Teresa
Challenge

Prayer
Dear Lord,
Thank you for allowing us to be Your followers. Thank you for adopting us to be Your children. Help us to show forth Your love to the world. We and everyone around us need your love. Where there is darkness, loneliness or agony in the heart of our neighbour, allow us to shine light and bring joy. Where there is a loss of motivation remind us always that our labour in You is never in vain and that in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Lord You are our Light, our joy and our peace. Forever and ever Amen.
