Mother Teresa

What can you consider to be the deepest words spoken? What words released from the stained mouths of humanity can mean anything? If we are so unclean, and so impure, then how can we love in the most pure form? Or can we? I think we can. But not alone.

In order to love the way God loves, and to see the way God sees, we need Him. We need to have his example as an everyday guidance in our lives and our hearts. We need to be able to look into the eyes of God and say “I have a problem. Please, Help me fix this.” We need to have a way to fight through the spiritual battle that is life, whether people realize it or not.

LIFE is a battle. It’s a fight for our souls. A fight for Heaven, or for hell. It’s a battle in which many people are lost, and many people are found in a way that could never be imagined by those untouched.  This earth is but a battle ground. And this battle ground will one day become holy, and become the land that Jesus walks on, and the land that God leads his Children to.

And here we are, the impure, much-less-than-perfect humanity, thinking we know everything, and making the world a crappier place all the while trying to improve it. God made us to keep this place clean, and to take care of it the way he would have. We are here screwing everything up, and who cares? Who do you know that has stepped up to fight for it to be the way it was meant to be? Who has actually made it a better place?

There are people who have. People know of many of them. Mother Teresa, for one. This woman devoted her life to helping people to be more life Christ, and to follow Him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Would you disregard such a woman because she is a Catholic? I would never think of such a thing.  She was an amazing woman, who did amazing things. And yet even she, the seemingly most honorable woman the world has ever known, has faced her share of criticism. Christianity was not meant to be easy. It was meant to be powerful. And in the case of Mother Teresa, it was.

Being a Catholic would not discredit her work, and if it does so in your eyes, you have some serious rethinking to do. This woman worked with those who needed it until the day she died, and she should be respected for everything she did. Her being a Catholic isn’t going to change anything. It’s another denomination. Another way the world sets the Believers of Christ apart. In the end, your denomination will have no bearing on whether or not you enter the Kingdom. What will matter is you. Your heart, and your life. What you did with what you had and if you used it for the good of man and of God.

That’s what matters. Not a stupid denomination. Not a stupid sect of another “mind-set religion”.  You. Your soul. Your relationship.

God knows your heart. Do you?
