Jeremiah 31: 3 -
4 "Long ago the Lord said to Israel: 'I have loved you, my people, with an
everlasting love. With unfailing love, I have drawn you to myself. I will
rebuild you, my virgin Israel. You will again be happy and dance merrily with
your tambourines.'
I used to work
in the corporate world and I love every minute of it. Something went wrong I
beat myself up black and blue and even spoke to the person I thought could
help. The mistake was made I cannot fix it, I started something new. In doing
this I have been really repetitive and acted accordingly, my life isn't a bed
of roses and people do keep me on my toes.
My company isn't
big, it consists of me, my oven and all my gadgets. I bake the cake for a
living and I take care of two little children. It's a full-time job, the cakes
take up a lot of my time and the two small kids too. I believe God is
rebuilding me from scratch, its hard and I am struggling. When God corrects me
when He deems it fit, I suffer. I still believe God's corrections isn't
rejection its proof He loves me. Hebrews 12 verse 6 reminds me of His love.
So how do I move
away from the feelings I have around being rejected and being frowned upon? I
realised that I am not a people pleaser and I am working very hard, God knows
me and is on my side. I don't have to go around bragging about my cakes, I
don't even advertise them, it's all word of mouth. I am happy I can perceive
that my merchandise is of good quality. People pay good money to eat the cakes
I bake. I am not bragging but I feel I am a Proverbs 31 verse 31 woman, I don't
give up and I am working hard each day.
Prayer
Lord thank you,
for today, thank You for looking after me, thank you, for the gifts and favour
You place on my life, I am grateful for open doors, great opportunities and
blessing out of Your hands. In Jesus Christ name, amen.
