Perseverance
My First Post - For the Working Young Adults!
So far working has been frustrating - which I will not elaborate much here or else risk getting discovered and thrown out. I wonder why am I being placed here? Did I make a hasty and wrong decision? I always believe that things happens for a reason. And God is always in control in every situation. Always. So now, what is my purpose of being placed there?
I ponder about this almost every day.
And then, not too long ago it finally dawned upon me. I have to learn to apply what Pastor has been preaching to us. I was brought to remembrance of this powerful phrase:
LET GO, AND LET GOD.
It was such a relief to rediscover such a powerful revelation. I know that things are beyond my control - especially when you are under employment. Things usually does not go your way. You are not appreciated. Other people takes your work for their credit. You get back-stabbed. You get framed. You do other people's work AND don't get a thank you but instead gets scolding. You get annoyed at your colleagues. You feel that you are unfairly treated.
You want to quit.
But then again, I know that this is a fallen world. There is no such thing as perfection except for Jesus himself. There is no such thing as fairness. Yes, under circumstances like this I do get discouraged - almost every other day. I don't deny this. I am not that strong. On the other hand, I know that I have to preserver. I have also been thought by Pastor to have the spirit of excellence though other people may not reward or appreciate you.
"Not only so, but we also rejoice in out sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, and perseverance, character; and character, hope." Romans 5:3-4
Sufferings --> Perseverance --> Character --> Hope
Character. Really all of this is part of character building. I still am learning to reapply the grace message that Pastor has been instilling in us week after week. It is not easy, in fact it is really tough. People tend to abuse grace. People tend to take grace for granted. But deep down in my heart, I know and I know and I know that God is still in control of every situation. His hand will guide me through this challenging time. He will be there when I need Him. Because He loves me as His own daughter.
