Alexander the Great conquered the whole world yet cursed himself because he never learned self-control. He subdued the world but defeated himself in the battle of life. Real greatness is measured in terms of depth. Everything about a building depends upon its foundation everything about a tree depends on its roots. The depth of a person tells the story.
Shallow people are like a small brook they babble a lot but never say much.
People with depth are like the sea the winds of circumstance may ruffle the surface, but underneath are great, quiet, untouched depths. The deep life the seasoned soul is not an accident. It is the product of daily time with God time to read the Bible to think straight about God to pray. Maybe something else will have to go something good in and of itself but not good enough to rob you of time with God. If you're too busy for God, you're too busy.
