The Greatest Success Of All

One of the qualities God looks for in His people is a heart that is willing to serve Him.   Will He find one in You? I hope this message ministers to your heart to see that life is to be shared with others helping them to reach their potential. I firmly believe that it is by giving that we receive and it is in blessing others that we become blessed. The Greatest Success Of All… “Skipper, a special message just came in for you from the admiral,” the sailor said to his captain as he saluted. “I have it right here.” “Read it to me,” the captain ordered. The sailor read, “You are without a doubt, the most conceited, self-absorbed, Ego-Maniac ever to command a ship in the United States Navy.” The skipper responded, “Have that communication decoded at once!” For some people, it's all about them. For others, it's all about you. Like author Leil Lowndes says, “There are two kinds of people in this life. Those who walk into a room and say, 'Well, here I am.' And those who walk in and say, 'Ahh, there you are.'” Which are you? Are you more focused on getting your own needs met, or on easing the burdens of others? Are you mostly trying to make yourself happy, or are you interested in the happiness of those around you? Albert Einstein reminded us that “life isn't worth living, unless it is lived for someone else.” And toward the end of his life, he removed the portraits of two scientists -- Isaac Newton and James Maxwell -- from his wall. He replaced them with portraits of Mahatma Gandhi and Albert Schweitzer. Einstein explained that it was time to replace the image of success with the image of service. Maybe the greatest success of all is when we realize that it's not all about us. And maybe the greatest happiness to be found is when we share the happiness of others. Rejoice in God’s Message of Love for you today:
“Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and whosoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.” -- Proverbs 16:18-20 PRAISE GOD BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
