Have you ever wondered why you, and what seems to only be you, have to work so hard to accomplish things in life? If your answer is yes, then welcome on my boat folks!
I have a really hard time pushing myself away from self-discouragement. Asking for help seldom comes from my mouth. Independence is a winning battle over my entire being. I do things on my own, sometimes selfishly; mostly not.
Lately I've been struggling with why do I work so much? Why do I seem to be the only one that goes above and beyond my call of duty!? And why do I feel like the business floats only by my mighty ant self?!
The answer that pops in front of me, also on a daily basis is THIS is what WE are CREATED for!
We are created as a people of God to do everything for HIS glory, not our own, not for our boss, not even for our customers. Its ONLY for the Lord. He created us for His pleasure. And how great is the feeling of freedom we receive through His grace that has healed our broken pieces. Lord have your way with me. Because I am yours and yours alone. Not a day passes without struggle, but not a night ends without His grace and love covering our souls.
His grace is sufficient enough to appease our sorrows. But should they even BE sorrows? Aren't we lucky to be alive? Blessed to have jobs?! Oh the wonderful love of Jesus that passes all understanding. He created us to work, and we work hard to give him glory. Imagine life without the blessings. Now that's struggling! Please don't give up hope. You are worth more than the suffering. You life means more than the sorrowful tears. God is so good and He has you surrounded by angels. If only you could completely open your heart and your mind to those angels, He wants you to be well.
