Living for God alone

"The work will always be here but if we do not rest and pray, we will not have the presence to do our work. " - Mother Theresa

These sisters (working with Mother Theresa) are not working to complete a caseload sheet for a social service agency. They are working for God. They begin their day with him; they end their day with him, back in the chapel for night prayers; and everything in between they present as an offering to God. God alone determines their worth and measures their success.

- 'Reaching for the Invisible God', Chapter 6: Living in Faith, by Philip Yancey
