This is not a lesson I've mastered just yet, because to be honest my flesh still screams out for this. My flesh still craves those "good jobs" and "you make a difference" etc. However God is slowly revealing His plan in all that. (It's just not an easy one to grasp). Here are some thoughts:
There comes a time when you have to be okay with the fact that you know you are doing a good job. In other words, as long as you know you are doing the best you can and giving it your all, God's good with that and you should be as well. Too many times we become frustrated because no one sees how hard we are working, but God does. The world we live in is a busy one. We will stay frustrated if we are waiting on others to give us a pat on the back or an atta girl/boy. As much as our flesh wants to know that someone sees the effort, there will eventually come a point where despite how hard you are working, no one may say anything. It all comes down to as long as He's happy, we need to be happy with ourselves as well ;-) We have to find our value in what He says about us and not in what others think about us.
Until next time............
