Kolkata, India - Day 2 I dont know if Ive ever been in a place quite like this. The sights, sounds, smells, people...all beautiful. The pull on the senses is extreme. The need is great. For the last 5 days, Ive travelled from one major world city to the next, all seemingly larger/more sprawling/intimidating than the last (with perhaps LA/HK being an exception). Los Angeles ->HongKong->Bangkok->Kolkata. It has been overwhelming seeing the need in each city. This morning I found myself reading a Mother Theresa book (which is quite special, being that this is the city in which she served) in which she talks about her need for God and His grace. In Kolkata, simply walking the streets, I have found myself connecting with these words more than ever. Ive only been here for (less than) 2 days now and I dont think I will ever be the same. I have found myself sensing a great need for God. In her book Mother Theresa mentions that the feeling of insignificance (or discouragement - I cant remember which) is simply a manifestation of pride, in so much that we think our abilities/power should bring about the change (in reality, that power and ability belongs to God). This hit home with me. Please keep me in prayer as I will be serving in a Mother Theresa home tomorrow. I am in great need of Gods strength and grace to love.
