What defines who you are?
Character versus outward superficial markers of success
Character ever developing through the seasons of life - like Jesus did in
Strength
Favor with God and man
Wisdom
Faith
Relationship with God
Inner peace regardless of circumstances
Humanity's "success" markers
Power
Control
Domination
Awards/degrees
Career
Money
Who you know
Status
Material possessions - brand of car, house, boat
Lead by serving others
How do you show love and handle dealing with others?
Kindness and patience
Letting momentary impulses control reactions
Not allowing status to determine how you treat others or make you proud
Treat others with respect as all are God's creation
Knowing that the storms of life may not be taken away, but always have Jesus by your side through them
Challenges mold us into the people God wants us to be and knowing there is a purpose for all we go through
How do you handle challenges?
Prayer and faith in God knowing that beyond the wall, there is "something better on the other side"
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." ~ Romans 8:28
Fear and stress over things not in your control
Extraordinary is often birthed by ordinary (seen in the miraculous birth of Jesus)
Building blocks of Christians (2 Peter 1:5-7) similar to the fruit of the Spirit
Self-control
Perseverance
Knowledge
Godliness
Goodness
Kindness
Faith
Love
Do you -
Become complacent and proud/settle as good enough
Strive to be better than yesterday - regardless of outcome
"He who fails well is better than he who succeeds badly" ~ Thomas Merton
Our heart's ultimate goal is to bear Jesus' image
Life is more than what is on the outside
Keep God's kingdom goals (like what I heard in a sermon) highest so we always know where we are - like the castle in Magic Kingdom; we can always then correctly prioritize the smaller aspects
