Successful in God's Eyes !!!

"Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life" - Proverbs 4:23.

 

Our culture is obsessed with success!

 

We are obsessed not only with our own personal success-

- but we may be even more obsessed with providing our children with the tools they need to become successful. 

 

We all want to do our best!

 

But a lot of times-

- there's confusion about what real success is. 

 

There's a nebulous understanding that-

- success means that our child will one day get a good education, have a good job, a good family and be good citizen. 

 

But-

That is a very short-sighted view!!!

 

It's not much success-

- if our children grow up to have worldly success for fifty years-

- and then spend eternity in hell. 

 

That's a temporary success-

- but an eternal failure!

 

In God's eyes-

- success means discovering His will for your life, 

- and using that purpose for the glory of God, 

- not for the glory of self. 

 

We must see that big picture when we help our children become truly successful. 

 

When a child grows to understand that-

- then the child has a far greater chance of experiencing real, lasting success, 

- for they will be successful in God's eyes.

BE SUCCESSFUL IN GOD’S EYES !!!
