AMBITION

AMBITION
If you want to have a great life for yourself,
then give it away to God.

              Ambition is natural. After all, you want a happy family,
                          friendship, financial security, and good health. In other words, you want
                          a great life. It's only natural to have such ambitions and to do everything
                          necessary to attain your goals, But should you be ambitious just because
                          it comes naturally?
                                               Jesus taught about the great irony of self-ambition. He said
                          you must lose your life in order to keep it. This paradox forces you to
                          choose which is more important your physical life or your eternal soul.
                          Jesus taught that gaining everything on earth --all the things that are sup-
                          posed to make you happy-- will still leave you emotionally bankrupt if
                          you don't have a spiritual relationship with God.
                                               God wants you to live with ambition and purpose, but He
                          doesn't want you focus to be self-centered and self-directed. Let God
                           be your priority. Let living in His Kingdom be your ambition.

                                               but lose or forfeit your own soul in the process?"
