There’s this perception that a “good” christian has to be a “successful” christian. We think that our worth lies in a long list of accomplishments. (Salvations, books written, bank account, spiritual fruit, twitter followers, etc.)
Who’s the successful one in God’s eyes? Is it Billy Graham? Or the Parking Volunteer at his crusade?
I think we all know the answer to this question. They both are! They’ve both done their part… what God has called them to do. And the question isn’t even how “well” they did it, but how much love they put into it.
God’s already impressed with you. Stop trying to “wow” Him. I mean, can we really impress the creator of the universe any way? For some reason He’s madly in love with us. So just accept it!
The fruit will come. The numbers will come. The success will increase. But our gaze should be fixed on a love relationship with Him! Productivity HAS to flow out of a place of personal intimacy with God. Otherwise, the product is useless.
Have I mentioned that I love jack mooring. He wrote this. He is from the band Leeland and he has some great insights.
