The Secret To Success is that there is...

No Secret.

Our heavenly father keeps no secrets from us.  There is no secret recipe to achieving the greatest of heights in our lives.  It is simple.  Believe in yourself, because God himself already does.  He stands at the end of our life cheering us on to the finish.  He stands beside us warmly encouraging us to keep pressing forward.  He holds us upright when we are tired.  He crawls on the ground next to us when life's weight has pushed us down to all fours.  His intention is sincere.  His enthusiasm is not only indescribable, but unrelenting.  He is our greatest fan.  He is our greatest coach.  He is our greatest mentor.  He is our loving father.

We are NEVER alone.

Therefore, do not fear.  Do not worry.  Do not be concerned.  All thoughts like those are lies of the enemy.  They are a blanket the enemy wants to throw over your head to blind you from the presence of God himself.  Resist those thoughts and you resist the evil one.  Resist the evil one and he will flee from you. 

"Fear is a poor chisel with which to carve our tomorrow"

Guard your heart and remain humble.  No man achieves anything outside of the grace of God.  Not one.  All who are in authority are there because God placed them there.  His wisdom is incalculable.  His timing is perfect.  He is mighty and he is just.  He does what is necessary to secure a tomorrow for all so that all will have as much time possible to hear His still small voice and answer His call to salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.  Nothing will keep him from his goal.  Therefore, don't rest in your own personal achievements.  They are all gifts from God.  We can no more guarantee victory or achievement than we can stop the rain.


We are all fallible.  We are all given the freedom of choice.  However, we are not given the ability to choose well.  Therefore, we are always placed in a position of needing grace.  Grace is the leeway, the slack in the rope, the space to make mistakes and yet...still be released from the shame of those mistakes.  Jesus teaches that we are all capable of stealing from each other.  And so he instructs us to give to those who take from us.  He shows us through His life and death where are hearts need to be in order to be free.  We are to always forgive.  Everything.  For if we are all fallible and able to make the same choices.  Then we are not far removed from any choice's consequences.  Therefore, each of us are only separated by our choices.  This makes us the same.  Not all consequences are foreseeable, however all choices are forgivable.  This makes us all equal.

"The secret of forgiveness is that it costs nothing and is worth billions"

And finally, after we have release our hearts from shame, pride and unbelief we are the able to fully be how God himself created us to be.  We are to love everyone.  To embrace all who breathe the air God has given us.  To encourage those who are low of heart.  To lift those who have fallen down.  We are all family.  God created us all.  He is Father to us all.  It takes a fearless, humble, forgiving heart to love.  But love can only exist when it is released into the world and at someone.  Love is the cool drink of water on a hot summer day.  The world is full of people dying of thirst.

The secret of life is simple.  There is no secret.  Pour your life into others.  Christ showed us the perfect example by pouring His life into us.

Be the cup to provide the drink of the living waters!
