What does it mean to be great? What lessons have we learned from those in the limelight who have achieved great heights yet lack happiness, spiritual life, and connection to God? What do we know about those who fake their happiness for the other to think that their lives are intact? What do we want to know about those who fool us into thinking that they have achieved everything they have from merit only? What do we know about those who openly disregard God in public and want to only make you interested in the Enemy?
Think of life as an opportunity to live according to what God wants us to do. It happens automatically. He sets out a design for our lives and we live accordingly. It doesn’t do to think in terms of what we could have done differently in the past. The past is over, don’t relive it. It was what you did at the time to help you through to the present. Even if it was a mistake, don’t dwell, you did your best. It was probably the best decision you ever made if it got a reaction from you to improve yourself. It didn’t stop you, did it?
Regrets are the devil’s way of making you feel inadequate from a place of lies and mistruths. The truth is, if you find God, and stay true to him only, then you have reached a place of greatness that even the Greats would envy. They had to come to terms with God at some point in their lives, whether it got them ahead or didn’t, it was due to God’s grace and forgiveness. Some people from the past might have found a way to God, and these people might have lived a life that is not worthy of mentioning. Then there are those who lived greatly, and missed that mark.
Live according to God’s plan for your life and be the greatest person you can be.
