A Heart-Captivating Devotion to God,
This review is from: A Life for God: The Mother Teresa Reader (Paperback)
"If we want to be able to love, we must pray! Prayer will give us a clean heart, and a clean heart can see God. If we see God, immediately God's love works in us. And we need to love not with words, but with deeds!" ~ Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa was such an incredible human being that it is difficult to read her words without being close to tears. There is such beauty in her thoughts and in her desire to take care of anyone who is in need. This book is a collection of Mother Teresa's thoughts organized according to categories like love, prayer and sacrifice. As you read this book you will realize why she was such an inspiration to millions. While she chose a life of poverty all her needs were taken care of and more. Her life of service also brought her such wisdom, which is shared in the pages of "A Life For God." Reading this book can only make you a better person spiritually. Before I read this book I knew Mother Teresa worked with the poor in India but what I didn't realize was that she inspired people to take action and create homes for the poor all over the world. What an incredible joy this must have brought her throughout her life. There is something so magnificent about the way she viewed the world. By reading Mother Teresa's words your life will change! What I especially enjoyed about this book was the interview questions and answers. They truly gave insights into why Mother Teresa wanted to help the poor. Throughout this book you will find hundreds of reasons to follow in her footsteps. Her thoughts about abortion are also sobering. What love to offer to take in any child that was unwanted. If we could all have even an ounce of the confidence she had this world would be a better place. She trusted God completely to work miracles so she could look after the poor. There was never a day when she had to turn away anyone who was in need. "If our poor die of hunger, it is not because God does not care for them. Rather, it is because neither you nor I are generous enough." ~ Mother Teresa ~The Rebecca Review
