Success

SUCCESS is simply a matter of pleasing: happiness is simply a matter of God manifesting His pleasure in our hearts. All else is illusion and delusion: all else is vanity, and - finally – sorrow and death. Life can be all deep, quiet, trustful pleasure, even in pain. Life can be all empty tragedy and failure, even in its glitter of ‘success,’ Don’t build anything on anything but solid rock. If there is no eternal foundation beneath it, then the better we build and harder we labour, the greater the ultimate loss and remorse. God is the rock, the only rock. Build everything you do on Him. It will then stand firm to all eternity.
