I'm heaps excited!
My dear friend and brother emailed out his success at getting a graduate position in July! Woohoo. Happy because I've personally seen this brother never lose faith and hope in God. He persevered, he fasted, he prayed, he remained faithful in his responsibilities and ministries. He constantly showed such a good example of trusting God. Wow....this is really God honouring the faithful! I'm also so glad to have been able to be part of praying for this particular position to be awarded to him.
I'm particularly excited because this bro has encouraged [Ps Lance's definition of literally GIVING COURAGE] me a lot this past year or so, especially in the area of grabbing hold of my God-given calling and destiny. I was in a really low point a year ago and was wandering around a little bit, trying to figure things out. This friend came along and was really a true edifier and leader. He never shyed away from the hard things to say, but always spoke in love.
He's always been the voice of truth and motivation, persuading the people around him to really pursue what God has for them. It was hard on him to graduate and be jobless for the past 8 months or so. But he has never said a negative word throughout the whole process. He always acknowledged the toughness of unemployment and the financial stress, but he kept praying and kept faith.
God has definitely rewarded him for his faith!
Happy for you bro! :)
