Man was never meant to be a god, but he is forever trying to deify himself.
Little fish risking everything for a piece of godhood...and not knowing heaven from hell, even when they find it.
If men cease to believe that they will one day become gods then they will surely become worms.
Desire of power, on earth a vicious weed, Yet, sprung from high, is of celestial seed: In God 'tisglory; and when men aspire, 'Tis but a spark too much of heavenly fire.
The Lord would want you to be successful. He would. You are His sons and His daughters. He has the same kind of love and ambition for you that your earthly parents have. They want you to do well and you can do it.
Thy destiny is only that of man, but thy aspirations may be those of a god.
Ambition first sprung from your blest abodes: the glorious fault of angels and of gods.
God like Us suffers the ambition to make a destiny more extraordinary than was conceived for Him, yes God is like Me, only more so.
