Speak it out: Our ideas of success usually include a great deal of emphasis on how we talk, how intelligent we are, the approval of others, and working diligently on our outward appearance. The trouble with that is, true success begins from within. It grows from the things that cant be seen in a glance; our thoughts, motives, ambitions, and values; all of the things that create character in us. We wont find success ignoring the condition of our hearts. We must be willing to have regular heart check ups. Allowing God to take the scalpel of the word and with His steady hand, do a work within. It is a work that will remain; an eternal and lasting change. Our hearts need guarding, each one is prone to wonder and give in to selfish pursuits. Our actions prove the conditions of our hearts. Prayer: I treasure Your word, help me keep it always before me. Guard my heart against itself and its selfish desires and ambitions. Give me a clean heart, one that will embrace Your truth and love. As I struggle with the issues of this life, I seek You and need your wisdom and resources to get through. Open my heart and reveal its true motives. With Your skilled hand remove what does not belong, all that does not bring glory to You. I surrender my life to You, fulfill what You have purposed.
