  1. Success in the world’s eyes, even our own, isn’t necessarily the same as God’s view. God calls us to deny ourselves, take up our crosses (be willing to die for Him) and follow Him. That doesn’t look like success to the world. Who is more successful in the world’s eyes? A rich prosperity preacher. Who is more successful in God’s eyes? A poor martyr to the Fulani!

      1. Thank you. I can feel a post brewing on my blog, but just thinking about Jesus’ earthly life, it doesn’t really look successful in the world’s eyes- most of his life an obscure carpenter, and crucified as a common criminal aged about 33

      2. ” …life as an obscure carpenter , and crucified as a common criminal aged 33″ – this got to me. Right now I am working as a prosecutor and it brought about this image in my head. Let’s just say I am patiently waiting to feast on that post that you are brewing๐Ÿ˜Š

      3. While you wait: this song came to mind: The Cross (3 Hours) by Shai Linne. I think you’ll appreciate the profound lyrics!

  2. I’m glad to see that you’re still blooming. I’m learning that some stages of growth are difficult, so we do indeed need friends who are fertilizer. Wonderful post, little sister. โค
