“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he
who comes to God must believe He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6
I believe that I
can safely say over the last 6 years or so of my life, I have become dependent on diligence
and perseverance in seeking God’s will for my life and in bringing about
changes for the better. It took
diligence and perseverance to be able to see my children regularly during the
three 3 after my divorce when I lived in a BQ where my children were not
allowed to visit me. I look back on
those years now and see how God brought so much good out of that time. The weekends on Roi and housesitting bring
some of my fondest memories back to me. Those three years with the boys were
some of the highest quality years I’ve ever had with them because my focus was
all about them, every moment I had with them was precious. It also took diligence and perseverance during
those 3 years to work my way up the ladder in my career and fight for a
position which would provide me an actual home to live in with my children. But
again, worth it because of the reward of the last 3 years that I have been able
to put up a Christmas tree again and have all the boys’ friends over for birthday
parties and sleepovers and even for my now husband to be able to do more of what
he loves, which is to cook wonderful, delicious meals for us! It has taken diligence and perseverance to
let go of my boys a little more this past year while also fighting for what is
best for them. What I’ve learned through
all this is that it takes diligence and perseverance to stay in God’s will consistently,
to seek Him with all your heart, to spend the time necessary with Him and in
His word to ensure closeness with Our Father, to ensure we can hear what He is
saying to us and where He is leading. What
I have also learned is how true the above verse is…God really is a rewarder of
those who diligently seek Him.
