Between You and God

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,pPeople 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.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy 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 never was between you and them anyway.

Be Blessed,
Mother Theresa

Martina McBride sang a song with this same theme. I do not live my life to plese someone else, I live it to please the Lord. We need to stop worrying about what other people say about us and do what we know we are supposed to do without frustration or concern about what others think. If you do what is right God will honor you and bring you through.

We will all give an account of our lives one day to one that matters. Until then do the best you can, treat others the way you want to be treated, and love unconditionally and without reproach. God will bless you if you do.
