I felt a calling to read your new book, and to learn more about the life of Mother(Saint) Teresa.
I have tried to be a good, and Holy person in my life, and
to seek Gods love, and guide me in my life. I have also
felt the suffering, and pain, in my life, and the thirst,
for Gods love, and forginess, and understanding of the world, people, and the church,
I believe it is a journey, of individual, and persoanal experiences, and where God also tests us, and gives us a chance to change our hearts, and sols, according to what we learn in life, and how we act, in our worlds, and what we do, and say to tohersssssssss?
I believe that God does punish us, in various ways, and can force into submissin, or to grace and joy in life, depending upon our heart, and love for God, and His world,
God may have created the first human, out of clay, and has been transsformed, into what he has created in the world today, although, theere are good and bad people, but those who have a good heart, and keep unto the Lord, he will be saved,amen
