Mother Teresa was asked by a young man why she always talked about this Jesus stuff.

He said he was going to work among the poor like her, do the good works of charity, but without the Jesus baggage.

Mother Teresa responded, “Go and work for 20 years or for a lifetime among the poorest of the poor. Then come back and tell me how you did it. I know that the only way I have been able to do it is because of Jesus.”  

Her faith and her understanding of Jesus gave her the ability to be a doer, a doer not just for a week or a season or a year, but for a lifetime.

JESUS IS GOD’S SELFIE!

How does Jesus help YOU to keep going for the LONG HAUL in YOUR life?

A GOD WISE ENOUGH TO CREATE ME AND THE WORLD IS WISE ENOUGH TO WATCH OUT FOR ME AS WELL!
