To recognize failure intelligently is the first step toward building success.
Recognize success with thanksgiving, and build more success on that..
You can have anything in life that you really want, but you must be prepared to take the responsibilities that go with it.
God is ready the moment you are.
You really do not know John Smith; you only know the idea that you form of John Smith.
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all . (Ephesians 4:6)
God is ready for anything in life that is for our best good. Are we ready to accept those responsibilities? How do we know if we are ready?
We know we are ready when we are following God’s will and our lives reflect that obedience. If we are not ready, we cling to our own ideas of our best good instead of God’s idea.
Ready to follow God,
Stan

A very thoughtful post. Can you even imagine the patience of God, I can’t – especially when we fail everyday to give him his glory and He still loves and waits for us? Thank you for writing it.
In grace are those kind thoughts are received. One is happy to serve.
