Are you successful, friend?

When you look back over the last few months, friend, can you say that you have had success? Maybe your business has been better than ever—which would make me very happy for you—but maybe it hasn't been so great.

Do you know that no matter if your life goes well or badly, only one thing is important? That is to recognize and remember that God sees YOU. And He also sees your heart attitude in the midst of your success or failure.

Did your year go well because YOU did a mega job or YOU created something that brought success in the first place? 

Recently I read the following passage in the Bible and it reached my heart directly:

“Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman? Or an image that teaches lies? For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak. “Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’ Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’ Can it give guidance? It is covered with gold and silver; there is no breath in it. 

“The LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.”(Habakkuk 2:18-20 NIV) 

What we sometimes forget is that what we are so excited about because "we" achieved it or even "created" it, is simply worth nothing if what we created is worth more to us than the One who created us.

Is the One who created you more important to you than what you have created?

Because just as you can see what you have created, He who created you can see you. “...You are the God who sees me...” (Genesis 16:13 NIV).

And what does He see when He looks at you? Someone praising Him for their success, or someone celebrating God for what He has created?

Think about it with pleasure today, and then thank the One who has given you so much!

You are a miracle!
