SUCCESS IS NOT WHAT WE CAN DO ON OUR OWN, IT IS WHAT GOD DOES IN US
God did not endow everyone with the same skills, gifts, talents, abilities, opportunities. But God has made it possible for each one of us to perform at our own highest level, because God endues each faithful believer with the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.
God does not require us to be someone else or to duplicate the accomplishments of someone else. God enables and expects each one of us to be what He has called us to be, to be what He has equipped us to be.
Success is not in the number of points made by individual team members, success is found in each one being and doing his best, by the grace of God. Success is faithfulness.
The victory is not to the inherently strong or swift. but to those who walk in the Spirit, and in whom the Spirit of God lives.
Success in service to God is not by power, nor by might, but by His Spirit.
We can do all things (that God requires of us) by Christ in us.
Greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world.
