At His Disposal
In this excerpt from "Come Be My Light," Mother Teresa expresses her compassionate nature. She talks about how terrible the world is without the love of Christ. She is determined to serve the Lord by helping the poor. Through this, she experiences the darkness and trials. However, Jesus had truly suffered when He died for us on the cross. He did this in order to save us from our sins and the least we can do is do what we can to make a difference in people's lives. Mother Teresa realizes that the darkness was the price of lighting "the fire of love." She knew that there would be trials coming and sacrifices must be made. She continually tried her best to stay positive and also kept praying. The holiness and compassion was seen through Mother Teresa because of her actions. It was apparently seen of how compassionate her heart was to others. I believe it is true that we need to serve God through others. By serving others, we are also serving God. Sometimes we will need to make sacrifices and get out of our comfort zone, but it makes us humble and stronger.
