Let God train you. He watches the way we handle the little jobs.

All tests are temporary and limited in duration. Peter told people facing persecution and possible martyrdom:

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials (1 Peter 1:6).

Some tests end on earth. All tests will end in heaven, right? Right!

In the meantime, let God train you. He watches the way we handle the little jobs. Jesus promised us:

“You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”

(Matthew 25:21)

Do you aspire to do great things?

Excel in the small things.

Don’t complain. Let others grumble, not you.

When you’re given a task, take it.

When you see a hurt, address it.

Compassion matters to God. This is the time for service, not self-centeredness. Cancel the pity party. Love the people God brings to you. He will work in you what is pleasing to Him.

[I am] confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

You will get through this! https://maxlucado.com/listen/
