Celebrate!
At the sinking of the RMS Titanic, over twenty-two hundred people were cast into the frigid waters of the Atlantic. On shore the names of the passengers were posted in two simple columns—saved and lost. God’s list is equally simple.
Our ledger, however, is cluttered with unnecessary columns. Is he rich? Is she pretty? What work does he do? What color is her skin? Does she have a college degree? These matters are irrelevant to God. As he shapes us more and more to be like Jesus, they become irrelevant to us as well.
Paul said in 2nd Corinthians 5:16, “Our knowledge of men can no longer be based on their outward lives.” And so my challenge to you is simple. Ask God to help you have His eternal view of the world. Every person you meet has been given an invitation! When one says yes, celebrate! When one says no, pray!

No competition to work hard. No competition to excel. No competition
period.
