Hi Leia, Look at what Peter wrote: 1 Pet 3:14 But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED, 1 Pet 3:15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; 1 Pet 3:16 and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 1 Pet 3:17 For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong. This seems to me to directly apply to the situation you described. In as much as you patiently endured the evil done to you, you did the will of God. Paul also wrote: Titus 2:9 Urge bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, Titus 2:10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect. No matter how she came to be your boss, no matter how she acted as your boss, your responsibility to her is the same. So again, to the extent that you fulfilled these things, you fulfilled the will of God. 2 Cor 4:17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 2 Cor 4:18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Love in Christ, Mark |

Thank You Mark for bringing to my attention those scriptures. My Christains friends kept referring to Joseph; going thru the pit before you get to the palace, but what they were telling me did not confirm what I felt in my heart. The truth has set me free. Thank you again for sharing truth. God bless you. | ||||||
