Keep doing what you’re called to do.
Do it when no one is watching.
Do it when all are watching
Do it when you don’t get recognition
Do it when you do get noticed
Do it when you feel like it
Do it when you don’t want to
Do it when it’s easy
Do it when it’s hard
You will be tempted to compare
You will be tempted to quit
You will be tempted to compete
You will be tempted to despair
You will be tempted to stray
You will be tempted to pull back
You will be tempted to settle
You will be tempted to be smug
Don’t do it.
Rejection is God’s protection.
He doesn’t like you? God is saying I have something better.
She ghosted you? God is saying wait till you see what I have planned.
The job turns you down, your friend betrays you, you have to move—God is leading you to where you are supposed to be.
