You were in need of work, or to serve in a comminuty or ministry, hurray !!! You get what you wanted.
Few months down the line, not everything is going as you planned, you start to feel the pressure , the people in leadership being hard on you, work colleagues being mean to you. People don’t appreciate all the hard work you put in. You feel used,
I have been there, I understand your situation. I once felt being taken for granted , unappreciated. I didnt want to talk to them or even to see them.. . The situation became very hard and i felt like quitting . I begun to pray and the Lord enlightened my mind and I came to this understanding
The Lord wants us to grow in all aspects of our lives. . He wants us to show love and sympathy to people whom we associate with . When people around us become unthankful and unkind, show them Christ’love, maybe there are going through hard times or have been hurt before and they don’t know how to put themselves together as a results they hurt other people.
God put us there not by chance, but by purpose. You can’t run away, if you do, then you will go to another place and find the people with the similar characters.. God wants to use us to be a blessing to people and in return we will develop to become better individuals. God wants to restore us into the divine image He created us in the beginning.
In everything that comes your way, no matter how bad the situation, look into it with a positive eye, remember that; “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28
Pray for people who put you into hard situations , pray that God may continue to give you strength to endure, and perform the work that God sent you to do. You will have to die to self and serve. Its not easy but God has promised to be with you. Its not always about you, but it’s about glorifying God in every situation .
May this be the guiding principle of all that we do
Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men
These principles not only apply to work places but also in our families, church communities, ministries and social gatherings
“'Are you offended at someone? Have you allowed that offense to birth bitterness, murderous anger and jealousy in your heart? Has the offense prompted you to leave the place God sent you? Trust me when I say that God doesn’t change His mind just because you’re offended at someone over something. In fact, the people you’re sent to help and those you work with will offend you the most. That’s all part of the journey. Realize it, and move on. To say you were compelled by God to do something or go somewhere is major because you’re attaching His name to your actions. Then, to say that He changed His mind just because you’re offended is dishonorable and disrespectful. No matter who or what you’re offended with, you must realize that you still have a job to do! Vacating your position leaves a void that you were called to fill. You were sent there for a purpose, and the “season doesn’t end” on the account of offense.
Furthermore, your feelings shouldn’t dictate your obedience. Mature above the offense. There’s still work to be done. And, remember that you were commissioned for a purpose. You’re there for service, not a popularity contest. Humble yourself, fix your face, get your attitude together and get back to work!”'
May People see Christ in you.
God bless.
Lots of love,
