No more Partial success!

ByHanna Shiferaw

Life is a journey. We want different things from life.  Some want material success, others want professional success, and some others need family life success. However, each one of us needs all those kinds of successes. If we miss one, our life is not fully successful.

The life that our creator God intended to give us is a full life with all rounded success. “His plan is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:2. However, most of us seem to follow our own ways of life and suffer the consequences of unfulfilledness or sometimes total loss.

The Bible says “Don’t live any longer the way this world lives. Let your way of thinking be completely changed.” Romans 12:2. The Bible mentioned this unfulfilled life as …the way this world lives.   Running for money and material possessions, trusting and following our emotions leads us to emptiness or fill like we miss something. It is right we fill like we miss something because those material stuffs didn’t satisfy us forever. The more we get them, the more we run for them. That is the way of living the Bible states as …the way this world lives.  

In order to live a fully successful life which is good, pleasing and perfect we need to do something. That is our way of thinking should be completely changed. It should be changed from the way this world lives to what God wants for us. God is full and perfect. Everything that he thinks for us is full and perfect. But, in order to live this life, we need think as God wants us to think. The Bible asks “…offer up your bodies to him while you are still alive.” Romans 12:1. God wants us to offer up everything we have and everything we are to him, so that he will be able to give us the life he intended for us.  

Your way determines your destiny. Live God’s way. Offer up your body to him. Then you will live good, pleasing and perfect life. Or live your own way, then you will live unfulfilled and unsatisfied life. It is your choice to make.
