Wrong label…That’s what I had been going through in this difficult battle I had been in at my workplace.
Where others say I’m disabled, God says, “You’re able…”
When they think I am guilty, God knows “I’m not guilty.”
When they are sure that I am weak and powerless, God says, “You can do everything because of Christ.”
When most of them tell me, “It’s impossible…”, God is quick to say otherwise, “Nothing is impossible.”
When they accuse me of lying, God says, “I know the truth.”
When they rush to end my career by making plans, God is the One Who directs all the steps.
When they want to see me suffer, God gives me His gift of joy, peace and abundant blessings.
Wrong labels…They don’t matter to God. It is what is in our hearts that He sees and what matters the most to Him.
“7But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart." – 1 Samuel 16:7 (ESV)
What an awesome post! I love the wrong label too. So funny!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you are going through such a trying time at your work... I am thankful that we worship a Father than not only knows our heart but sees it too.. I will continue to pray for you.

What a great example to share! I know what the Bible says and that is what I choose to believe. However, the world always says something different. For me, I find that I must spend time each day with the Lord to confirm what I know.

Such a precious post, bless you. This is Denise, from shortybearsplace.
ReplyDeleteOh Rosel that is toooo funny. Great analogy you shared here dear one. Thank you. Blessings
ReplyDeleteThank you my sweet friend and sister for continuing to uphold me in your prayers. If you only knew how much you bless me. Times are certainly hard and we are going through so much. Prayer is so powerful and I am forever thankful to so many who pray on our behalf along with us.
ReplyDeleteYou are continually in my prayers no matter what is going on in my life...even when I have been so sparse on the computer these days.
Love you and many hugs sent to you this day,

Gosh it really does make ALL the difference; knowing that our God is in control of everything and that He has a plan for us. Your response to all these difficult situations inspires me in my own difficulties.
ReplyDeleteHi -
ReplyDeleteThank you for this rich piece. It stirred my soul indeed.
You offered such encouragement and hope here.
Only one label counts - the one that says we are loved by God.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post, Rosel. It is true, the world loves to attach labels to us. But none of them matters, if they do not match the way God sees us.
Blessings on your day as you spend this day worshiping God in church, and having a fresh intake of His word as preached by your pastor.
May God refresh you and infuse your heart with fresh joy.
Love
Lidia
((((Rosel)))) came back to give you some hugs.
