Do it anyway


This poem has been a delight to read again. I pray that it may help you to keep going in your Christian faith. Don't worry about what people may think of you but keep persevering for Jesus' sake.

"People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

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

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway."

Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem - apparently this poem is on the wall of a children’s home in Calcutta (operated by Mother Theresa’s order, the sisters of Charity).
