More from Mother Teresa

"Love has no meaning if it isn't shared.  Love has to be put into action.  You have to love without expectation, to do something for love itself, not for what you may receive.  If you expect something in return, then it isn't love, because true love is loving without conditions and expectations."


I am reading one of Mother Teresa's books entitled A Simple Path.  It is full of nuggets of wisdom like the one above.  Most of these rich thoughts are simple to read, but so deep and meaningful when you can take the time to truly let it sink into your heart.
