Faithfulness

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

Mother Teresa inspires me. She didn't ask for success, she asked for faithfulness. Down deep within me that is what I want to. I want to remain faithful. I want God to trust me to put Him first in my life, to love and to serve others without seeking acknowledgement.

I want to be faithful in the small things, to lean on Him, to ask Him for direction, for help. I have found that when I try in my own strength to go through my day, at the end of it, I am exhausted.

But when I put Him first, things fall together, prayers are answered, doors are opened and everything just works out the way He meant it to work out.

One of the greatest things I have learned is He is faithful. So today I pray He will make me like Him.
