A friend of mine loves to hear tales of people who set goals, learn the skills, and make their success happen. I agree, it is a very comforting thing to reaffirm that goals in life can be met if one is diligent and learns the skills necessary to accomplish them….
The story I love to remind myself of though is different. The skills required are not hard to do, the conditions of the relationship do not bound his team, and the plan has unlimited options and distance.
The story of how God loves us is the true story I love to hear. Real people telling real details of how God intervened in their circumstance and saved them perhaps from themselves. About how God shouldered their fear, answered their prayers and provided a life they could have never imagined as the goal….
True stories….
I think my definition of true success is laden on those who understand and accept God’s love for them, and spend their lives trying to share God’s love with others…..
