I walked this evening at dusk. If I would have only looked and concentrated my efforts in the direction heading north, south or east I would have missed what was awaiting me when looking in the west direction. All directions excluding westward in the sky were filled with dark clouds. When I was walking and looked in the west direction there was a beautiful orange sky just below the dark clouds hovering over it. I chose to look in all directions this evening and because I chose that I was blessed with the beauty that my eyes beheld. Hang with me in my thinking OK.
No matter if you worked for an organization for a day, week, month or years do not see the negative in the work experience. Your job is to glean the great and positive while you worked for them and they worked with you. I believe the expression goes like this...look for the silver lining in the cloud. In each position you were brought to an organization to bless them with your gifting and talents. You probably even cultivated talents or sharpened your God given talents while in that position. If you are honest with yourself and search back in your memory and you are truthful you will find this is so.
There were people you met and touched your life in a profound way. You also touched the lives of others and made a mark upon their life too. You really did if you would just open your eyes to this.
I can think of one particular person I met while working for an organization. This person I began to trust and found them to be a mighty person when it comes to prayer. If I never graced the doorstep of that organization I would have missed the opportunity to be lifted up in prayer in such a mighty way. Thank you Lord for you are faithful and You knew all along that this person would grow and advance in prayer through my simple and sometimes big prayer requests. Pause for a moment and look back upon your freshly started or seasoned career and you will find a person or two that mentored you. Give thanks to God that you were allowed the privilege of crossing the path of that person or people. Look beyond the job experience and view the larger picture. If I chose this evening to only focus my attention on gray and gloomy clouds I would have never seen the beauty that awaited me by lifting my head up and into the direction in which the beautiful sky awaited me.
Do not let the cares of the world bog you down and act as a cloud upon your head. Look up and possibly into a new direction than you always look into and you will see the beauty right before your eyes to behold. God creates beauty and it is not just for a person to paint a picture or capture it on film. Oh no, it is for you to enjoy and recognize that it is God that created that very view for you to see. Did you ever realize that He may have created that very scene just for your pleasure that very day? He is God and He can do that just for you. He loved you so much that His only son came to earth to live and die for you so that you will not have to perish in hell for all eternity. He died on the cross that you may live with Him for all eternity in heaven. What a glorious love just for you. If you do not know of this one named Jesus let me introduce you to Him. He was born of the virgin Mary, he lived and walked on this earth and performed many miracles and set captives free, he died on a wooden cross and three days later He rose from the dead. He awaits meeting you and joining Him one day in heaven for all eternity forever. Would you like to meet Him? It is very simple just ask Jesus to forgive your sins and admit to yourself that you are a sinner. We all have sinned and believers around the world have asked one time or another for forgiveness of Jesus. He will forgive your sins if you ask Him to. Once you have asked forgiveness then invite Him into your heart. He will, all you have to do is ask Him. He is ever so faithful. In the moment that you invite Him the bible tells us that all the angels in heaven rejoice. Just think of that...the angels in heaven applaud your accepting Him into your heart and life. WOW. I applaud you also in making this decision. Your life will never be the same, and I mean that in a good way. Welcome to the kingdom of God and may your very life be filled with His abundant love and grace and peace too.
