Currently I'm in the middle of reading "One Heart Full of Love” from Mother Teresa’s speeches and written letters.
Here is a quotation:
"He is the Life that I want to live.
He is the Light that I want to radiate.
He is the Way to the Father.
He is the Love with which I want to love.
He is the Joy that I want to share.
He is the Peace that I want to sow.
Jesus is Everything to me.
Without Him, I can do nothing."
The final statement is on my heart. Without Him, I am nothing. Without the love and merciful grace of Jesus Christ our Lord, I would not be going on this mission trip. I would not be healed from my past. I would not be free from the power of sin.
Praise the Beloved Son of God and the Author of Eternal Salvation!
2 Samuel 22:29 You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light.
Psalm 4:6 Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light of your face shine on us.
John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;apart from me you can do nothing."
