The Great Life in Christ!

We all want the "good" things in life. Things like love, joy and peace. Most people seem to think they deserve these things without showing or defending them to others! The person who is most loved can, of all people, be most miserable if he loves no one else in return. Mother Theresa, who loved many thousands of people, didn't seem to need love in return. She felt loved, if only by the God who called her to her life's work - her life's love. Patience, kindness, and goodness all benefit a person most if they're shown to someone else. Of course one benefits from someone else's kindnesses shown to him, but not in the full measure that kindness can be good for him. Only by cultivating these things in one's own life can they be most beneficial and bring the most pleasure.
