Let Nothing Disturb You

Let nothing disturb you.
Let nothing frighten you.
All things pass.
God does not change.
Patience achieves everything.
Whoever has God lacks nothing.
God alone suffices.
Christ has no body on earth now but yours;
no hands but yours;
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes
through which the compassion of Christ
must look out on the world.
Yours are the feet
with which he is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands
with which he is to bless his people.

—-St. Teresa of Avila

    Thanks for the reminder. You might enjoy checking out a site of one of my professors at George Fox U. His name is Jason Clark and he's with Vineyard, UK, and is a great thinker and teacher. Worth keeping up on his blog. www.jasonclark.ws
