Proverbs 3:13 NKJV
Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
How do you define success?
Well, if you are a Christian, we are supposed to define success according to the word of God. The world defines success by money, fame and how many things you own. I heard a story about an elderly Sunday school teacher, who never taught a large class neither was she well known. Now by the world's definition she would not be considered a very successful person. But even though she never taught large classes or was well known, one of her students was a kid named Billy Graham.

And we know Him today as one of the greatest evangelist to have ever lived.
He has led millions of people to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So in God's eyes that unknown Sunday school teacher was a very successful person. So don't let the world define your idea of success. If you are doing what God has called you to do you are very successful!
So be encouraged and keep being faithful in being successful in God's eyes!

God's way is certainly slower, I've learned that. It's hard waiting. I love your style of delivery!
