He That Wants To Be A King Must Be A Servant First!

Love is the key to making this world a better place for our children’s children. Mother Teresa exemplified this love by stepping out of her comfort zone and choosing to work among the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta. Amazingly with no funds, she depended on God, and started an open-air school for slum children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and financial support was also forthcoming. This made it possible for her to extend the scope of her work.

In 1950 Mother Teresa started her own order called, The Missionaries of Charity, whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. Her society has since evolved into The Society of Missionaries that have spread all over the world, including the former Soviet Union, Eastern European, Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, Europe and Australia.

Mother Teresa's work has been recognized and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.

Until we have individuals that are willing like Mother Teresa to step out of their comfort zone, the status quo will continue. Mother Teresa did not wait until all her ducks were in a row. With only a desire and a passion in her heart to help the bruised and the broken hearted, Mother Teresa stepped out on faith and as she went along, help and support fell into place.

Rosa Parks, Dr. King and Mrs. King, Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln and many others with only a dream and prayer stepped out on faith. Likewise, we must take our cues from them and use whatever is in our hands to bring our dreams into fruition. When we do this, then the forces of justice in the universe will align themselves and bring our dream(s)into fruition and make us Winners at life.

Stay Blessed!
