       It is very important that our feelings of wantingness for anything be totally surrendered. This is not only for our mental well-being, it is for our obedience to God, and (don’t miss this), it is so that in the end we will get what we really want. You can accomplish this and that through selfish ambition. There is no doubt about that. People do it all the time. The thing of it is, it is just not necessary. American society often tells us that the way we get what we want is by working hard toward whatever it is. Is this how God operates? Well, in taking a close observation, we see that “No, it is not.” Just look at Abraham, or David, or Peter, or Paul. Did any of these people achieve their important positions with God through selfish ambition? No, they were chosen by God. They didn’t do a thing. This is how God operates.
