I love sayings

I love sayings - I even collect them.  I have oodles (isn't that a great descriptive word) on my computer, books of sayings, and now the Internet to find them.  Well, this particular saying was in one of my books.  The saying was:
“God has not called me to be successful; He has called me to be faithful.”
                                                                                           Mother Teresa

That really spoke to me because our culture teaches us that we are supposed to be successful.  And, if you are not successful in certain areas - well, say it isn't so.  Still others ask us to define what success is.  But, what if we changed the word successful to faithful?  I like that - at least it works for me.  Because, chances are good that I am not going to be "successful" as our culture defines it, but if I do the best with what I have been given and all to the glory of God, then I am faithful (okay, maybe we can say successful too).
I know some amazing people who are faithful...I bet you are one of them.
Have a blessed day!
