Successful Christians continued from 4/9/13

What is success?  Yup you know it...let's see want Merriam Webster has to say:

Definition of SUCCESS

1

obsolete : outcome, result

2

a : degree or measure of succeeding

b : favorable or desired outcome; also : the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence

3

: one that succeeds

wow I didn't see that one coming.  I can't figure out where the first definition comes from.  I can't imagine success being obsolete....hmm maybe there is an English scholar out their that could leave a comment to explain this to all of us.

But while I was looking at the related writings on this page I saw this...."

SUCCESS IS THE PROGRESSIVE RELIZATION OF A WORTHY IDEAL WORKING TOWARDS A PREDETERMINE GOAL.........

Well considering that I do not know this person, I must first of all say Thank You, for this word, plus I do not know if he is a child of God.  But in reading this I have to say that this so completely tells what the goal should be for all Christians.

Isn't our goal to be miniature Christ's, so this would be the predetermined goal, that we should be seeking after....and when we first become Christians since we have this as our goal, or we should have as our goal...and since being a Christian is such an ongoing and long learning process, I feel as though this gentleman has so succinctly stated our ongoing progression of walking with Christ.  What could possibly be a more worthy ideal? 

You know I will soon be celebrating my 14th birthday in the Lord...and I am still learning new aspects of being a Christian and what it means to be a Christian.  This morning already I have learned two separate things.  The first being I have been speaking into having aches and pains....I will explain...on Saturday I was weeding in the front of our house....and I got up to where our bedroom is and the air conditioner was there and I straightened up under the corner...needless to say the old man kicked in and while I didn't say any bad words...I should have said God take away this discomfort and heal my head right now in the name of Jesus...amen.  But I didn't!  And by Monday my hair hurt, where I bumped my head....no more...I speak, not good health, but excellent health over myself and my loved ones...how else can I or we possibly be of the best use to our Lord?

My God is so good I want to be able to serve Him always and to the very best of my ability!

The second thing I learned goes back to positioning....by this I mean...putting myself, especially my mind set, in the correct place always, to hear what God is saying to me, and doing what God would have me to do...this past Sunday at church, God told me to tell someone very specifically that they are blessed,  now please understand, this was the first time that I audibly heard God telling me to do such a thing as this, and it wasn't that easy to do...but I did it...I do not and did not know this person, but I did tell him he was blessed and that God had told me to tell him that...I am curious why, but it isn't necessary for me to know...what is necessary is obedience to God.

Now it is time to find someone to bless...who will it be...hmmm....
