Psalm 46:10
During some of my Advent reading I came across this story about Mother Teresa and had to share it with you as it resonated with me so powerfully and also brought a large smile to my face. Sometimes we evengelicals need to learn from such wisdom, for surely the truth will always set us free!
Former CBS anchor Dan Rather found himself unprepared for a
television interview with Mother Teresa. Ron Mehl described the encounter this
way: "When you pray," asked Dan, "what do you say to God?" "I don't say
anything," she replied. "I listen." Dan tried another tack. "Well, okay... when
God speaks to you, then, what does He say?" "He doesn't say anything. He
listens." Dan looked bewildered. For an instant, he didn't know what to say.
"And if you don't understand that," Mother Teresa added, "I can't explain it to
you".
