"Daily we pray "let them look up and see only Jesus"(regarding the poor), but how often do we look in and see only Jesus in us? Do we see Him in using our eyes, mind and heart as His own? Are we so given to Him that we find His eyes look through ours, His tongue speaking, His hands working, His feet walking and His heart loving? Do we really only see Jesus in us? You have to be in the world and yet not of the world. The light you give must be so pure, the love you love with must be so burning, the faith you believe with must be so convincing, that in seeing you they really only see Jesus." -Mother Theresa

I was going through my journal today and found this quote. It's a great challenge, to look in yourself and ask that question. Do they really see Jesus in us? And if not, what is hindering you? I asked that to myself and the answer was no. There are places where I have not surrendered fully to God, and thus it hinders God working through me. Where I have a hurt in the past, my heart will be guarded and not able to fully open to others, possibly hurting people in the process. For God to work in us, for people to see something truly different, we must let go of such things and fully surrender to God. Then he can fully work through us, letting His love flow fully through the people who are willing. What do you need to surrender?
