Faith was a very brilliant girl who had a Master’s degree in
Economics. Faith felt that what would make her life complete was a job. She applied
to one of the Universities in the Country to be an Assistant Registrar. One day, She was called for
relieving duties from that same University and she felt that was a quick and
sure way of getting the job. After three months, the relieving contract ended and she
went home so sad. Why was she not asked to continue with the job since she has worked so hard? she said
quietly to herself. A few months later, Faith was called for an interview for
the formal Assistant Registrar job. She was so happy and her joy knew no bounds. She quickly
prepared for the interview and went for the interview so confident. The questions
started and she realized she could not answer them. She had suddenly forgotten
all what she had learnt. After the interview she was never called for
the job offer for months. She called back and the feedback she received was
that, she didn’t get the job. Which was quite expected because she knew her
performance at the interview wasn’t that good. Her
wish was that the University will call her back for the job; suddenly a still
small voice started echoing “live your name”. She got the message so clearly
that “she should have faith” how can I have faith in such a situation? She said. She
decided to have faith although it was so difficult and her faith was barely there. 6 months later she had a call from a Company she had never applied to, giving
her a job offer with juicy fringe benefits. She couldn’t believe it. Although
her faith was challenged, she still had hope in God and God
was God in this situation.
“We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are
perplexed, but not in despair”.
2 Corinthians 4:8
