Success

Mark was an accomplished police officer.  He had studied and succeeded academically.  He thrived in his career.  And the more he accomplished, the more he sought to accomplish, because it never seemed to be enough.  Each successive achievement failed to provide the satisfaction he was looking for, and he couldn’t figure it out.

After his wife convinced him to attend one of our events, he realized that he had been looking for the peace that could only come from Christ.

While being successful isn’t wrong, being successful apart from God is hollow.  Jesus said, “Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”  If you are successful, give glory to God for your successes, and seek to honor Him with your life.  If you aren’t labeled a success story, in the world’s eyes, don’t despair, because true success is anything that pleases God.  If you or someone you know is living the life that Mark lived, realize that true satisfaction can only be found in Jesus Christ, and no amount of accolades, college degrees, or promotions at work will fill the void in your soul.  Share this glorious truth with someone in your life today.
