Fall in Line with His Will

Henrietta Mears

Henrietta Mears wrote, “To be successful in God’s work is to fall in line with His will and to do it His way. All that is pleasing to Him is a success.” The definition relocates the measure. Success is not primarily visible results or personal advancement. It is congruence with what God has commanded and what pleases Him.

How you’d preach it

Success in God’s work is alignment, not independent achievement.
