| "Success is recognizing where our talents, gifts and attributes come
from?then always giving the Lord the credit. In this way it is possible to
stay humble and successful at the same time. Success and glory (as the
world understands it) is very addicting, but for someone whose
satisfaction comes from doing the Lord?s will, the true understanding of
success is comprehended. As John Taylor so beautifully stated (July 7,
1878), "We are here as Jesus was here, not do do our own will, but the
will of Him who sent us." The most successful experience in life is to
find out His "will" for our individual lives and do it, Thus fulfilling
the measure of our personal creation." | |
