UNITY is journeying to Christ anyway

Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.  ~ Philippians 2:2

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.  ~ Mother Teresa

What was at one time discouraging to you until you read Mother Teresa’s words?  Are you emboldened to overcome the obstacle now?

In essential things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity.  ~ St. Augustine
