Faithfulness for the sake of getting something from God is an ever-present temptation in most people's lives(including mine ;) Isn't it refreshing that He is going to work on that temptation with us? That we don't have to work alone for the end result of pure faithfulness? So happy I get to run this race of life with you! ~GretaM.

I think you hit the nail on the head with waiting and not "looking"-- precious time and thoughts can be wasted with looking, but the key is waiting and *walking in the path of God's will and trusting His provision and plan for the days to come. And... it's hard to think that way (not only in this area of life!) ... not being able to "see" then end result, having to surrender to God as the one in control and not us.<br /><br />What you mentioned about faithfulness is so good. I loved how you said that Christ should be our goal and our motivation! I am praying He will soften me to see and love what He has done even more deeply so I can serve Him with the right heart. We can be comforted that the Lord does bless those who are faithful to him-- knowing this gives us hope in the midst of trouble and pain. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading your posts -- so much wonderful content! Thanks for sharing, encouraging, and challenging me!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00375719171673737670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599328576365025114.post-69258316358647143602010-03-09T15:04:34.321-08:002010-03-09T15:04:34.321-08:00Great post!
