The Danger of Sucess

Many of us may think, "even though we are Christians. We're free of it." But actually, we're so successful as to the vunerable a toddler.

I see success as a real weakness. And the weakness indicates vulnerability. But, very different than you think so, fame comes with a certain air of arrogance and excessive high confidence clearly showing a heart full of pain and bitterness. And a bitter heart can react in two ways: Either that encloses the heart and if you feel the worst on earth or feels superior to all wishing success to show the world its power.

But, we Christians? In what area have been attacked about our competence? Satan creates a sense of self-sufficiency and superiority that makes many of us fall into traps (often because they have spent little time with God and we have known little of his character). Would you have been highly praised because of its excellent pastoral ministry? Or for being a good wife? Or the best son of the family? Or to have the best and most beautiful family in the neighborhood? Being a good leader in your church, your job? It is natural to happen, but it's not normal if we are agreeing with our self-sufficiency and ability to do something. God does not seek competent for their work. He is seeking sincere worshipers, have a pure heart and broken. His talent is not what draws attention from God, but his heart because this is only what he wants from you. Our success does not matter for the Our Father What about delivering our success in God's hands and use our "fame" to make it known in every nation on earth? This is a challenge I have faced and also encourage you to leave it all behind and decide on a path of obedience and love for the Lord Jesus Christ.

He alone is the Star that shines most in his life.

With love, Chris. ♥
