And I hope we take the "What Would Jesus Do" standard more seriously than we do when making any decision, especially one that affect others and how we represent Christ to them.
Hey Obinna, thank you for being vulnerable with this piece. Your concerns are valid. Been there. But God had to teach me that he is my source, and no matter the demands he places on my money, I can always bank on heaven's economy.
We can trust the Lord to always supply our needs according to his riches in glory. We can take cue from the difficult moments of the past we overcame through his help. If he did it before, he will do it again. So rejoice in the Lord and honour him with your substance in whatever capacity he requires of you. 🤗🤗🤗
Now that I've learned this lesson, I just pray for the strength to practice it enduringly, no matter how bad things get. Because in more ways than we realize, these situations strenghten our character and dependency on God. So, the least we can do is submit fearlessly and faithfully to the process. Basically, "be still and let God BE God."
"...we should remember that we once considered our second hardest challenge insurmountable, and yet we survived it." - This 100%. It puts things in perspective, though when you're in the moment, that's not what you want to hear. As humans, we like to pity ourselves occasionally, and if someone is trying to interrupt that party, we get annoyed.
I'm sorry to hear about your pay not being what you expected and your financial distress. I pray for your patience and wisdom in knowing how to proceed. And your sister's health!
Thank you so much for empathising with me, Goldie. It really means a lot to me. Thank you for the prayers and well wishes, too. 🌸
What you said about us preferring to be pitied rather than to be told the truth about our situation is so on point. I know because I only feel that way, especially when I know the truth but don't want to accept it. But I keep praying for the strength of will to be more trusting and the wisdom to navigate these situations. And I trust that God will help us all who struggle with this particular challenge.
This is very relatable.
I hope that first question pops up in my mind when I really need it.
Oh, and thank you for the song recommendations.
You're most welcome, brother.

"You're Gonna Be OK" is a great song!
