Do you have inner peace? Are you driven to accomplish goals or reach your potential to the point that you ignore what it does to you physically, emotionally, and spiritually? Do you like who you've become as a person?
These are all questions that Gordon MacDonald has you spend time contemplating in his book, Ordering Your Private World.
I've never given much thought to the fact that a successful life on the outside can only be maintained by a successful life on the inside. When you loose control of the things that give you focus and inner strength, you will shortly find that the outside life starts to fall apart.
Anyone who is overly stressed out, or feeling that they will never reach their full potential (never be good enough), or just finds themselves wishing they could be someone else should read this book!
I'm a King James Bible believing sinner saved by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! I was raised by a good mother and I went to a KJV church growing up. I am a mother of 5 lovely children and am married to a crazy Cajun for 20 years now! I think bow ties are cool, and grey hairs are like tinsle for your head. I admire those who do right no matter the cost, and wish to avoid those who would compromise the truth.
Sometimes the devil doesn't tempt us with evil; sometimes he allures us with good, distracts us with obligations, confuses us with compromise, or hinders us with business to keep us from that which is best- service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Remember, the devil always offers his best, before Christ will offer His will for your life.
