The world will tell you if you don't have beauty, brains, bucks or brawn, forget it. The emphasis is always on externals-what you have and do-rather than on who you are.
Who do you consider to be successful? Who do you look up to? I suspect it is those people who manifest one of those "killer bees". They are people who have amassed a fortune and made an impact (like Bill Gates). They may be people who are famous (Michael Jordan, a movie star). It may be someone (for Christians) who has a big church, is seen on television, writes a lot of books.
Do you see that all these things are surface issues? Jesus calls us to something deeper. He calls us to hunger for a godly character. Jesus says God is not looking for press clippings, attendance figures, bank accounts . . . . He is looking for "fruit".

Trees don't try to produce fruit they just be.
They just be what they were created to be.
And out of what they were created to be comes the fruit that was inside the seed.
They just be what they were created to be.

ACTION STEP: Just pray this prayer with me today as this song plays in the background.
Lord, help me to just be content at being your child.
Help me to be who you created me to be, fulfilling daily what you have called me to do.
Jesus, I give my life to you. Do with me Lord what You see fit.
And, help Lord to not give in, give up, or quit...
but just be.
Amen
