Like a majority of the population it is necessary for me to work full time to help pay bills. I fantasize now and again about walking away from the daily grind but it’s just not time yet. I imagine it must be rewarding for those who can actually see some progress at the end of their work day. They don’t have to wonder about what it is they’ve accomplished.
My work does not afford me any visual stimuli and I confess to having times of absolute discouragement. In those moments of frustration, when I wonder what it is I am working for? I don’t think about the bills I have to pay. No, I think about the times I’ve been able to be of help to others. Not just with a few bucks here and there but also simple words of encouragement.
When I can’t see any immediate results for my efforts, I recall the bigger plan. This helps me to continue on regardless of what I don’t see.
2 Cor 5:7 We live by faith, not by sight
