I`m sure that many of us have days when our jobs become the source of overwhelming, all consuming demands on our day. Evaluations of our performances should be taken and given in a positive constructive manner, not as an attack on us as a person.
The business world operates so differently that the Christian walk. The demands for profit supersede the person and their feelinga. I was told that perhaps, I was not the right person for this job and that I should strongly consider making changes! It`s difficult to hear that all the efforts that you pour into your job are totally dependent upon $$$$$$$$$$. God must weep as He witnesses this behavior.
In the midst of my day, my God did not hurt my feelings, He came to my rescue. As I struggled with feelings of attack on my integrity and my self worth, He called in reinforcements. In my very moment of need, my phone rang, it was my friend Joan, who never calls at this time; I was so upset that I couldn't talk I just requested that she pray. Thank you God!
As I struggled to preform my task of making my deliveries at Acme Market, again I was lifted up in love and support by a fellow vendor and Susie the receiver at Acme. They so graciously and lovingly poured out feelings of compassion and concern for me. Now this is how God wants us to treat one another! Soon another christian friend appeared and wrapped his arms around me in support and a desire to comfort me.
Soon a feeling of peace began to empower my very being; the love and prayers were penetrating my soul. God knows our needs and hears our prayers. Glory to God for His grace and mercy poured out on us every second of everyday.
I pray for my boss Rhonda and her boss Ron, that they will be blessed with the gifts of wisdom and compassion as they operate in the cruel business world.
Psalm 138:3 In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.
