Success??

by Carl Walker

Success is.....
Success is not.....

Success is
when I become
a person God can use

Success is not being used by God
What God does with me is His business

Easily distorted my focus is
I want to assert
my goodness
my value

there is in me a huge drive to be "good"
and seen
and reguarded
as
"good"
as
"valuable"

What I'm really trying to do
is be "good" enough

I confess I don't want to see my need for a savior

when i become gripped by my inability to be good enough
i am closer to being gripped by my savior
and
closer to
success
