. love

. "We have all been created for greater things--
to love and to be loved.
Love is love--
to love a person without any conditions, without any expectations.
Works of love are works of peace and purity.
Works of love are always a means of becoming closer to God, so the more we help each other,
the more we really love God better by loving each other.
Jesus very clearly said, 'Love one another as I have loved you.'
Love in action is what gives us grace.
We pray and, if we are able to love with a whole heart, then we will see the need.
Those who are unwanted, unloved, and uncared for become just a throwaway society--
that's why we must really make everybody feel wanted.

There is something else to remember--that this kind of love begins at home. We cannot give to the outside what we don't have on the inside. This is very important. If I can't see God's love in my brother and sister then how can I see that love in somebody else? How can I give it to somebody else? Everybody has some good. Some hide it, some neglect it, but it is there."

. a simple path

. if you are searching for God and do not know where to begin, learn to pray and take the trouble to pray every day. you can pray anytime, anywhere. you do not have to be in a church. you can pray at work- work doesn't have to stop prayer and prayer doesn't have to stop work. you can also consult a pastor or friend for guidance, or try speaking directly to God.
JUST SPEAK.
tell Him everything, talk to Him. He is our father, He is father to us all whatever religion we are. we are all created by God, we are his children. we have to put our trust in Him and love Him, believe in Him, work for Him. And if we pray, we will get all the answers we need
~Mother Teresa
