The worldly view of success says we have to be like "The Joneses". Such a BIG FAT LIE! God loves variety, otherwise He would have made everyone the same. We don't have to compare ourselves to anyone else. Why? Because God doesn't compare us to anyone else. He made us special - to fill a special part in His plan - and no one else in the entire world can fill that part but us. How freeing is that!??!!
Success is simply obedience to God - being faithful where you are. We don't have to be sure of our next step before we move forward. We only have to be certain of the One who is telling us that it's time to follow Him to a new place, a new adventure.
We don't like change because it threatens to take us out of our comfort zone, which disturbs our sense of security - but He is our ultimate security.
How tragic to miss God's divine appointments!....Every day, we make a thousand little compromises, avoid opportunities, actions and people--all so that we can stay away from the emotion of fear. But I don’t want to miss moments of opportunity. I want to go where I’m being called. I want to be willing to meet others where they are at. I want to be brave enough to take the next step. And then, I want to do it again the next day and the next day after that....Everyday with Jesus is an adventure - an AWESOME adventure! ✞
Blessings,
Dalinda
