About Success.

 There was a time in my life,  back inn 2007, when I graduated from college, I thought i was Sinless and believed that, I met the criteria to see God. Since the verse says, blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. 

This was total atrocity which i realize now. I was not sinless at that time, which i can clearly see now. Back then even though i claimed to be pure, I did not realize that I was giving more importance to academic excellence, over every thing else. Thought that was the most crucial thing for anyone. At a point i even told point blank to a good guy that i value all his goodness, but if only he had studied a bit differently like Engineering. I was repaid so badly for that sin of mine.

In 2024 I finally came to realize, what my sin was. It took a lot of beating up and I learnt it the very hard way. In the span of time, as i navigated through the rough terrain of life, I committed many sins, It is easier to be good in a good and safe atmosphere and very challenging in a challenging environment.

Now i know the following, The bible has clearly said this in many places.

for example

God says,

"I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I the lord do all these things.

Isaiah 45:7

So basically, it is not a persons academic excellence or any other factor that defines them or their life, it is way lot more than that. Simply put it is in Gods hands to decide what happens with ones life. And there is nothing else to it.

So, the bible says,

Matthew 6:33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
