Always be faithful
in little things, for in them our strength lies. To God nothing is
little. He cannot make anything small; they are infinite. Practice
fidelity in the least things, not for their own sake, but for the
sake of the great thing that is the will of God, and which I respect
greatly.
Do not pursue
spectacular deeds. We must deliberately renounce all desires to see
the fruit of our labor, doing all we can as best we can, leaving the
rest in the hands of God. What matters is the gift of your self, the
degree of love that you put into each one of your actions.
Do not allow
yourself to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done
your best. Neither glory in your success, but refer all to God in
deepest thankfulness.
If you are
discouraged, it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your
own powers. Never bother about people’s opinions. Be humble and you
will never be disturbed. The Lord has willed me here where I am. He
will offer a solution.
-Teresa of
Calcutta (No Greater Love)
