Not Faithful, but Succesful

Sorry that I have not posted in a while. I have been very busy. I will post more often now.




Mother Teresa once said that God did not call her to be successful, but to be faithful.

Mother Teresa is respected for these words because of her long years as a missionary worker and for aiding the poor in India, America, Ethiopia, Albania, and many other nations. During her life, she always attempted to be faithful to God's plan for her while denying wealth and comfort for herself.

When she said these words, Mother Teresa meant that God did not necessarily want her to be successful in her work, but that He wanted her to obey His commands.

Without a doubt, God wants us to obey all His commandments without question, even if it means offending others and not being profitable in the world's eyes. God wants us to obey because we are born again in Christ, and because of the finished work of Christ, we will go to heaven.

On the other hand, if we aim to be prosperous in life, we often are unfaithful to God. If we do not believe in Christ, and we do not reflect Him in our lives, we will be sent to eternal punishment.

A soldier does not help win a war through personal achievements and glory, he helps win it through obeying orders and working with the squad. Although he is on the front lines, the soldier does not know the whole strategy like the commanding general does. Similarly, we do not know the entire plan God has for us in our lives.

Faithfully, Polycarp, an early church father, died rather than deny Christ.

Theodore Roosevelt, the former President of the United States, learned this lesson well. "It is better to be faithful than to be successful," he passionately declared. Roosevelt was one of America's best presidents, along with being a strong and faithful Christian.

By Mother Teresa's actions and words, she taught us that we should obey God's word without seeking to be successful.
