Every time I'm feeling down about work, I always come back to this verse. It reminds me of my purpose... Of why I got here in the first place.
I'd like to think that through my job, I am helping build His kingdom. I am able to bring His little ones closer to Him just as He commands in the passage above. And that should suffice. God is enough.
Harder to see through this though at times, especially if you have financial matters to think about. You see, teaching is not the highest paying job in the world. It's really a job borne out of pure love and service. And that, I believe in all honesty and faith, is beautiful.
Yet sometimes, in this harsh world we live in, pure love cannot place food on the table. Pure love cannot make dream weddings happen or Jason Magbanua onsite videos materialize from thin air. Haha. Hay. The stuff I'm thinking about.
But then again, I just believe that something great will come out of this. I have to constantly remind myself that I am planting healthy seeds today which I will eventually reap abundantly in the future... Soon! If this is really God's purpose and will for me, then it will allow me to grow in every aspect, in every way -- spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, and even financially. It will come. Especially the last one. It will come :)
Lord, I pray that you give me child-like faith so I may trust you completely and surrender my life to you fully. Let your will be done. Amen.
Ciao!
