Bible Question:
despair resulting from unemployment How so much parents/others try What remedy should one do when one finds one as unfit /and a burden on others around/is there a way out/ a noble way/an innocent way/ derived from what should an unfit 29 year old do in a small town such as mine...? |
Bible Answer: Vinodh, Lionheart and Azure have both given you very good answers. I would just like to give you my 2cents worth. I too, have been unemployed at times. It absolutely is no fun. It can leave you feeling useless - But there are things you can do - while you are looking for paid employment - give some of your time to helping other people. When someone told me to do that 20 years ago, I thought that there was absolutely nothing I had to give - but it turned out I did. I was able to help Spanish speaking adults learn to read and write English! And through that activity I found a paying job. God has given every one of His children a talent,a gift. Every one of us holds a miracle in our hands - we just need to hold out our hands to someone else to find it. Is there a hospital or clinic near your home? Go there and read to children. Maybe there is an elderly person in your area who has no one and would love someone to just come by and sit and talk to them once in awhile. When you seek to fill other peoples needs, your own needs seem to just get taken care of. God does not see any willing person as "unfit." He has a place and a work for everyone. :-) Col 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful. Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God. Col 3:17 And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. These 3 verses at first were very hard for me. I found it hard to find things to give thanks for. But then I realized I had breath and a voice to sing and then legs to move and dance, and then arms and hands to reach out and hold and hug. Now I can't stop giving thanks. God is so good. And He loves you. And I join Azure, and will be praying for you. Cheri |
