Loving Tirelessly...

In the words of Mother Theresa…

At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made or how many great things we have done. WE will be judged by “I was hungry and you gave me to eat. I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless and you took me in.”

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like—but I do know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will NOT ask, “How many good things have you done in your life?”, rather he will ask, “how much LOVE did you put in what you did?”

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary—what we need is to love without getting tired.


Hmm… interesting concept… to love without getting tired... and what other types of ‘giving love’ should we be giving… without getting tired? How do we support each other in sickness, the draining ongoing kind, or the short, ‘sick for a day’ kind; in body or spirit, sadness, discouragement, plain old tiredness, of the recognised and unrecognised variety… this is something I have been thinking through this week… but no answers come to mind as yet…
