the world is generous with its definitions of success.
it offers them early and often, huh?
measurements.
milestones.
applause.
proof that you’re doing “enough.”
money.
likes. comments. bookings.
we pursue reward all the time.
& society tells us a lot of what that looks like.
but i keep coming back to this.
Christ is the reward.
not the life He builds for us.
not the doors He opens.
or making 10k a month.
or hitting six figures.
or finally having a dream answered.
it’s not being a wife. it’s Him.
it’s not business being a “success”. it’s Him.
it’s not six figures. it’s Him.
it’s not dream photo shoots. it’s Him.
it’s not 20k followers. it’s Him.
it’s not bigger houses. it’s Him.
it’s not being a mother. it’s Him.
it’s not x, y & z. it’s Him.
He’s the reward.
His nearness.
His voice.
His steadiness when everything else feels uncertain.
getting it all and losing Him is still a 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴.
losing it all and finding Him is still a win.
every good thing here is just meant to give Him glory and experience more of Him.
at the end — it all matters if He is the reward.
and i don’t want anything earth has to offer without Him being the true reward.
