When things are hard(difficult)look outward.
I have learnt that when we focuss so inward, we realize just how much we lack. We realize we are not beautiful enough, not tall enough, not blessed enough, not fortunate enough, do not have enough friends, are not popular enough and all those things. All this spells one thing -selfishness! I know ....
I have been looking to change jobs, I have talked about it, prayed about it, sent out my resume but still have not gotten the kind of job I seek. As you can imagine, I was not feeling great about myself. While I was still at it, a friend of mine got a promotion to a new job, had a great send off a king size gift and he was gracious enough to share all this information with me. I was excited for him. It felt nice and lifted my spirit. For a time I did not dwell on my own struggles and I felt relieved.This was not my success but someone else's but it felt good.
When I focessed away from myself, I felt better even about myself indirectly. May God teach me to look out for others more than look out for my own needs!
But please do pray for me,I still need that job!
