Amazing Woman

I can't read enough about Mother Theresa. When I think about somebody who attempted to live their life like Jesus, she is the first person I think of. She spent time with those who nobody else cared about. She touched those nobody else would touch. She loved those nobody else loved. This prayer is one that she would often pray and is one of my favorite prayers. It is my prayer for myself and my prayer for you:

Dear Jesus, help us to spread Your fragrance everywhere we go. Flood our souls with Your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess our whole being, so utterly, That our lives may only be a radiance of Yours. Shine through us, and be so in us, That every soul we come in contact with may feel Your presence in our soul. Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus! Stay with us, and then we shall begin to shine as You shine; So to shine as to be a light to others. The light O Jesus will be all from You, none of it will be ours; It will be You, shining on others through us. Let us thus praise You without preaching, not by words but by our example, By the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what we do, The evident fullness of the love our hearts bear to You. Amen.

What would it look like in your contect to spread His fragrance? What is it in your life that others see and see Jesus? What example can you be to your children or your spouse? What would happen if when people come in contact with us 'they feel His presence'. Oh how I long for that!
