"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me,
and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall
search for me with all your heart."
~Jeremiah 29:11-13~
It is not what we do that matters, but what a
sovereign God chooses to do through us.
God doesn't want our success; He wants us.
~Charles Colson~
That is a very thought-provoking quote . . . "God doesn't want our success; He wants us." How so very often we forget the simplicity of seeking God and searching for Him with ALL our hearts (as Jeremiah 29:13 implies) and measure our lives by worldly success.
