Affliction♦

I thank God for my job. The people their are perhaps some of the furthest from God which I Have ever seen, and they have no interest in Him at all. Living in sin, they do not seek God. They live to please only their own lusts and appetites. They don't understand why I am the way I am, and they make fun of me, for not swearing, for reading my Bible, for going to Church, for loving God. They are on the unrighteous path, which can only lead to their own destruction, and for them I pray, that God would give them the mercy they need. They don't understand. They bite and devour one another, and they love to do it. they are very good at being very bad. And yet, I am thankful for them, each and every one, and I am thankful for the place where God a put me to work. I learn a lot about the depravity of man, and because of them I see the need the world has for purity, for goodness, for love, which can only come from something outside of man's wicked nature, which can only come from God. I'm reminded every day that salvation is a gift from God, that only He can bring forgiveness, holiness, righteousness, purity. There truly is none good, apart from God. It's a funny way God has chosen to make for me... but I don't make the way, God does, and I never did anything but ask God to set my feet on His path. I'm thankful for my job, because it's the place that God has given me to work, and it drives me to pray and seek God's face above everything else.

I'm uncertain about everything in my life right now, but then all I really want to do is to walk with God, and so I do not need to be uncertain about anything at all, because any good that comes from my life is going to be provided by God. Following Him I know I'm right. I had nothing when I came to Him, and He has given me much to do for Him. And so, all that I ask, is that God would lead me and guide me and use me for His glory in every small thing He's given me.
