God does not call us to be successful, but to be faithful!

 

Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men.

⏤  Colossians 3:23

God does not call us to be successful, but to be faithful. 

⏤ Mother Teresa

It is all about faith! God does not care about how successful we are in a humans world, He cares about our faith in Him! In trusting Him! That is what matters! Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men! I so agree with this Bible verse. I always say it to my spouse, we are doing all for God, not for work or humans. We only need to put God on a pedestal, not humans, or things, material goods, or our jobs. God only wants us to work for Him, and that involves having great faith and following Jesus, imitating, reflecting, and loving like Him! 

The Mornings with God App Prayer today said, "O God, who brings joy to both the morning and the evening, we thank You for the gladness of this new day. You didn’t let our night be filled with pain or sorrow, but instead, You gave us peace and comfort. It’s because You kept us safe that we are so richly blessed. We lift our hearts to You in gratitude for the light and joy of this new day. Bless us as we go about our work. Bless our efforts and help us to be diligent. Keep us from growing weary with the routine tasks we must do each day. Help us to do all our tasks with a cheerful heart. Teach us how to do our everyday work for You. It will be easier if we do it all for You. The burdens won’t feel so heavy if we are carrying them for You. The tedious tasks won’t seem so dull if we do them for You. Teach us to live our whole lives for You, so we can truly honor You. Give us grace to be kind and helpful to everyone we meet today. Sometimes we get impatient, or we aren’t as polite as we should be, or we get irritable in the stressful moments of life. Not everyone we meet is easy to get along with, and sometimes we have to endure rudeness. O God, keep us loving and gentle, no matter what we face today. Help us to always keep a sweet spirit. We want to honor You in everything we do, say, and feel today. Bless us with Your love. Fill us with Your Spirit so that we can be like Jesus, no matter how others treat us. Make us true blessings wherever we go. Keep us from stumbling. Grant Your grace to everyone we love. And to You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we give all the glory. Amen."

I love this St. Mother Teresa quote, it is so true, God does not care about our success here during this Earth School journey, He wants us to have great faith in Him! What is success anyway? So many think it is money, titles, material goods, luxury cars and homes, etc. But the same forget about God, cannot go to church for one hour or week, pray, read the Bible, or talk about Jesus, God forbid, they are even offended if you talk about God or religion. So many today have become slaves for Satan, parasites to money, power, and greed, they think those things are what are going to get them to Heaven. We need to do all for God! Please our Maker, follow Jesus so we can get into Heaven, that is what really matters! So whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men!
