Between You and God

Here's a poem by Mother Teresa someone sent me the other day. You might already know this one but I though it was beautiful:

Between You and God

by Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable, irrational and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind. people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway.

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you.

Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend your years creating, others could destroy overnight.

Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, someone may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today will often be forgotten.

Do good anyway.

Give the best you have and it may never be good enough.

Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway!
