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! That is the true success for us all as we go about this Earth School journey! We need to be grateful! To pray and pray for others and the world. To be positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord! Great faith is so critical! So many today live in misery. They seek pot, drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, and other vices and things of this world to make them happy, instead of God and following Jesus. It is all about faith in the Lord, we need to rejoice in Him! Do you have faith in the Lord? 

The Mornings with God 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."

It think so many go about in this world with drudgery and defeat. They are full of hate, negativity, and misery. They do not know God or follow Jesus. Do you live for this world? What is important to you? Things of this world or getting into Heaven to spend life eternal in Heaven with Jesus? I love the prayer, Application to the Holy Spirit. In the prayer it says, "in spite of all material illusion I wish to be with You in eternal glory." That is what matters to me! Not things of this world, not a fancy house, a manicured lawn, a luxury car,  all the titles and power in the world, none of that brings real peace and happiness like Jesus can. Do not do things for humans, but for God! Yes, like it says above, 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! Faith is also accepting God's will be done! Got faith?
