You are more than the Accomplishment that you Achieved in Life
Never treat your accomplishments as part of your identity because those things are just temporary. The riches that you gain, the honor and respect that you receive from others, the knowledge and skills that you have – all of those things will never last forever. They may temporarily fill the spaces in your heart, but they will never sustain you until the end. You need to anchor yourself in the right foundation. Rely on things that will lead you to eternity. Value the most important treasures in the eyes of God. You may think that God is after your accomplishments, but the truth is, He is already proud of you…

Romans 4:13, NIV
It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. Romans 4: 13, NIV It’s all about faith. You need to accept the truth that it’s not about following the law or making an effort so that Jesus will notice you.

What pleases Him are those who choose to believe in His words…

And then, an earthquake happened and opened the doors of the prison cell. The jailer woke up, and when he saw what had happened, he drew a sword…
