Brilliant reminder, thank you! The battle against the enemy, the flesh and the world is relentless, the only place of peace and rest is in Him, and He wants all of us.
I believe God wants us to be ambitious. He wants us to strive to become better at whatever we do, because it validates our identity through making an effort. God respects effort, as seen in the story of Cain and Abel. But our ambition should not come at the cost of cheating the reality. We should not grasp til we are ready, and not take to benefit ourselves but to benefit others. Through active service in humility humans can truly grow.
