True Success

WHAT is success? The amassing of money? Dives did not find it so. Is it power? Herod did not find it so. Is it knowledge? Paul did not find it there. No; success lies in the simple service of God. Success lies in stewardship, in receiving the facts of life—money, influence, intellect—as loans from God, to whom the account is daily to be rendered. “The longer I live,” writes Samuel Chapman Armstrong, “the less I think and fear about what the world calls success; the more I tremble for true success, for the perfection and beauty of the inner life, for the purity and sanctity of the soul, which is as a temple.”—Central Christian Advocate.
