A successful day is one in which you have stayed in touch with Me, even if many things remain undone at the end of that day.
Dear Jesus, That sounds almost too good to be true. We rarely reach the end of the day feeling successful. We nearly always experience a sense of some degree of failure. There are numerous ways of measuring success, and we feel the pull of many of them. That can leave us in a fragmented, unfocused condition. Help us to view success from your perspective.
THERE ARE INDEED MANY MEASURES OF Success In The World, And Most Of Them Are Meaningless. To avoid confusion, you need a rule of thumb. Seek to please Me, when communicating with Me is your highest priority. I am pleased the more you commune with Me as you go through a day, the more you walk in My ways. The Light of My Presence illumines the path before you, making sin both obvious and abhorrent. This same Light satisfies your soul. So, staying in touch with Me is an excellent measure of success.
- Jesus
