The Hearts Agreement.

One of my current reads is the autobiography of Mother Teresa. I remained in an utter awe, when she replied to her brother who had chosen to serve as an officer for the king's army. She was angry at him, because she felt that he thought that he was more important than him, and he was questioning her on her decision to sacrifice her life for God's service. She replied to him: " 'You think you are important' ... 'because you are an officer serving a king with two million subjects. But I am serving the King of the whole world' " (Spink, 1998, p. 11). 

Can anyone argue with this response? Her response truly resonated with me. How can we think of serving another, when we can serve the king of the whole world? This thought also revealed that while Mother Teresa was gentle and true to her purpose, she was strong, and defended her purpose. Not everyone will agree with our choices, the only true agreement that matters is the agreement of the heart. 

My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)
