Hearing the Good News
I got some news today that made my day. One of my really close friends finally got the big phone call. He finally has his first job since graduation. I'm elated.
It's satisfying share in the victories of the one's you're close with. What makes it so sweet is being there from the beginning to share in their struggles, to be able to encourage and to know that God takes care of it all. The sheer confidence of knowing it's not "if you get a job", but "when you get the job". My friend said it right all along that this whole job hunt period is about character. One of the big valley's where you really find out what you're made of.
For me, my joy comes from hearing him say how much he appreciated my help during the tough times. Just those words were rewarding enough. If you really think about it, all that I did was pass along some bits of wisdom and knowledge that someone else was kind enough to give me. The rest was purely God's work.
Today, I was reminded how wonderful it is to give back because some gave to you. Ever more so, how great it is to play a small part in God's plan. To be reminded that sometimes, the valleys in life are there so we can grow, and to appreciate to moments when we're on the hilltop. It's these things in life that the most important, to simply just be there and provide.
