Patience and perseverance leads to God based Hope... I'm reading in a text by Gary Thomas, entitled, "Authentic Faith."
Not for the feint of heart.
There are numbers of us here that have had one trial after another with employment. It might get worse before better.
fight that temptation to evaluate your own self worth by the job. It's a deadly trap!
Sometimes, God allows us to wait to teach us that suffering isn't all bad...and can lead to a greater insight that He is in charge and our efforts, without His purpose and direction, can be for naught.
I keep trying to use this time for learning and growth...but it does get difficult.
Keep the Son in your eyes!
