Life that God sees as prosperous

All a man's ways seem right to him,
but the LORD weighs the heart.
To do what is right and just

is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice...
He who pursues righteousness and love
finds life, prosperity and honorer
(proverbs 21, 2,3, 21)

What are the qualities that refelct close relationship with God?
1. peace of mind
2. inner joy
3 righteous and just
4. love of God
5. love of others
6. love of those who don't love me

God has searched my heart for thesequalities. My heart leaps when I "connect" with what God likes.

How do people rate success?
1. rich in pocessions
2. rich in achievements
3. being famous
4. being smart and quick

But these are not the measure of "success" in God's eyes. Actually, these are the hurdles to be successful in God.
We are made in the image of God. This is why a life deviant from God's plan will end up killing our inner being. The syndromes of PTDS, depression, chronic fatique... are the physical signs to ask us to stop steering our lives in the way we want. God has a blue print of how we should live. Live a life of righteousness and love, then we will find life, propsperity and honour.
