Success defined according to its original connotation is living according to God’s purpose and destiny for your life. An individual can be SUCCESSFUL according to the world’s view, however if he is not living ON PURPOSE, then he is truly missing the mark. In most cases, those who are success – full (according to a worldly perspective) are full of themselves and refuse to make room for anyone else. The success-ful are opera singers who sound is, “I… I…I… I…me…me…me…me…me…” There is no room for company if it is all about you. When we allow people to come into our home (life) they get ideas on how to decorate their home (life).
Food for thought: Those who are striving to become success – FUL , and become weary are FULL of themselves. We must inventory the motives of the heart. A success- FILLED person is building according to a Godly pattern. His measuring stick (or standard) is THE WORD, and not the abundance of possessions that feed the EGO (Refer to Luke 12:13-21).
The rich young ruler used “I” six times in this story. Hmm….
