Earthly success and heavenly success isn’t always in conflict, but the former usually overshadow the latter.
A preacher may forget how to love the little ones when he starts counting the many souls he has won for Christ. Yet it is the little ones who would have been his greatest heavenly investment had he invested himself in them.
Having earthly success is hard, but having heavenly success is both harder and easier.
If we spend every moment of our earthly life in the love of God, that’s alone will earn us great reward in heaven. It’s that simple. Yet it’s hardest thing for us to focus on.
It’s relatively easier to earn financial success, relationship success, and career success.These kind of success are countable and touchable.
However, we can miss out so much real fruits that we could have easily borne by seeing what God want us to see, and speaking what God want us to speak. We can bless a soul by speaking exactly the right thing to him at the right time, which is achievable only if we are close to God.
