True Success: Success is not the result of chance or of destiny; it is the outworking of God’s own providence, the reward of faith and discretion, or virtue and persevering effort.
The Lord desires us to use every gift we have: and it we do this. we shall have greater gifts to use. He does not supernaturally endow us with the qualifications we lack: but while we use that which we have He will work with us to increase and strengthen every faculty.
By every wholehearted, earnest sacrifice for the Master’s service our powers will increase. While we yield ourselves as instruments for the Holy Spirit’s working, the grace of God works in us to deny old inclinations to overcome
As we cherish and obey the promptings of the Spirit, our hearts are enlarged to receive more and more of His power, and to do more and better work. Dormant energies are aroused and palsied faculties receive new life.
