Love Your Enemies

Blessed Sunday! :)

Here's a poem I would like to share by Mother Teresa which was shown today during service; and it truly inspires me a lot- and I really do pray I could take this as my guide for the coming years (and a great resolution for the year 2013)!

~ ♥ ~

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.

The title of this poem is easy to guess.

Try guessing :)

BUT no reward points even if you guessed right-

because it's just too easy :p

The title is...

ANYWAY.

Hah!

(Here's a wiki page on Mother Teresa: click HERE.)

Being a person like in the poem is definitely not an easy task-

but I pray God could give me the strength and guide me through-

reminding me that it's between me and God,

and it was never between me and them anyway

Here's the verse for today:

Love Your Enemies

"But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you," - Matt 5:44

Ending this blog entry with the worship song for today:

God bless!
