Surrender for Success

"Success: the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors"

What defines success? Who determines one's success?
To one success may mean the attainment of a position.
To another success may simply be the survival of yet another day.

To one success may mean the achievement of recognition.
To another success may simply be that taste of clean water.

To one success may mean the accumulation for retirement.
To another success may simply be that sound of falling rain.

May I never be caught up in an idea of success,
that I miss the simple sounds of plain.


"Surrender: to yield (something) to the possession or power of another"

My life is not my own. It is a gift that was entrusted.
My life is not my own. It was paid and bought at a price.
My life is not my own. It was ransomed by His blood.
My life is not my own. It is to be a blessing unto others.
My life is not my own. It is to be lived for His purpose.

My life is not my own.
I live by Faith and not by sight.
I move by the power of His Spirit.
My life is surrendered for His success, that His Glory may be seen.

Launching a Legacy

What you build, you must protect.
Suffer the pain of discipline
or pain of regret.

Your world is created by your words
and composed by your choices.

Your vision is the compelling picture of your future.
If you have no vision, you have no future;
and one without a vision, will always return to one's past.

What is the legacy that you are leaving behind?
