Daily Gratitude Year 13 - Day 9: Today, I am grateful for Mother Teresa's humble wisdom.
"If you are humble, nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are." -Mother Teresa
Read that one again.
"If you are humble, nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are." -Mother Teresa
In this world, there will be praise and there will be times of disgrace. It is part of being human. Mother Teresa was so articulate. I love her simple framing of big thoughts.
"Because you know what you are..." Oh, the trials and the limitations of this human condition!
We know we are imperfect. We know we fail. We know we try hard. We know we enjoy success. We do not enjoy failure or embarrassment.
"Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love." -Ephesians 4:2
Be humble. Be curious. Be grateful we do not have to be perfect, because His grace is sufficient.
Today, I am grateful for Mother Teresa's humble wisdom.
