About This Quote

It is dangerous to become useless to God. This quote from the 15th century mystics, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, warns us of the dangers of being useless to God. In a world that is filled with chaos, people often lose sight of God and stop praying. But simply because they have lost sight of God does not mean they have become useless.

Instead, they have simply become more useful to themselves. Being useful to God means giving up your own wants for his needs. For example, everyone wants a comfortable bed and a warm blanket at night.

But what if those desires were more important than those of another person? In that case, would it be okay to give those things up? If you were leaving home to go on a camping trip, would you leave some valuables behind because you thought you wouldn’t need them? Those valuables may be as important as your own needs, but the important thing is that you put the needs of others before your own.
