Jeremiah 17: 7- 8 Trust


"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is the Lord. He is like a tree planted beside the water that stretches out its roots to the stream: It fears not the heat when it comes, its leaves stay green; in the year of the drought it shows no distress, but still bears fruit."
Jeremiah 17: 7- 8

Theresa of Avila

Consider seriously how quickly people change, and how little trust is to be had in them; and hold fast to God, who does not change." Theresa of Avila

A Last Prayer Mother Theresa


Mother Theresa writes..

The devil may try to use the hurts of life,
and sometimes our own mistakes,
to make you feel it is impossible that Jesus really loves you,
is really cleaving to you. This is a danger for all of us.
And so sad,because it is completely the opposite of what Jesus is really wanting,
waiting to tell you. Not only that He loves you, but even more, He longs for you.
He misses you when you don't come close. He thirsts for you.
He loves you always, even when you don't feel worthy.
When not accepted by others, even by yourself sometimes,
He is the one who always accepts you.
Only believe, you are precious to him.
Bring all you are suffering to His feet,
only open your heart to be loved by Him as you are.
He will do the rest.
- Mother Teresa, 1910-1997 For more see side bar

Don't Quote Me - Mother Theresa

"If I can give you any advice, I beg you to get closer to the Eucharist and to Jesus... We must pray to Jesus to give us that tenderness of the Eucharist." -Mother Teresa of Calcutta
