So then, let us [apostles] be looked upon as ministering servants of Christ and stewards (trustees) of the mysteries (the secret purposes) of God. Moreover, it is [essentially] required of stewards that a man should be found faithful [proving himself worthy of trust].
1 Corinthians 4.1-2
A faithful person knows what God has put in their heart, and even though they may feel like quitting, they don't give up. They don't get out of a relationship because it isn't easy anymore. They don't leave a church because there is some "new" thing across town, or a job because it gets too challenging.
One of the most important lessons you can learn is to be faithful with something until God lets you know you are finished with it. Sometimes God will call you out of one place and put you into another one--but God doesn't change the plan very frequently. A faithful person is committed to doing whatever God tells them to do--no matter what!
I know I can use these truths in several areas of my life... It's a nice reminder to persevere thru the most difficult and challenging times! Tell me how this might be applicable to you! Have a great Tuesday!

Hey Wendi! This is such a great reminder to stay focused on what God places before each of us. I know, for myself, sometimes it is so very easy to become consumed by how I feel and think about something that I lose sight of the fact that I was called to that place in the first place. In particular, this is how I feel about working at the hospital. I have many other thoughts on where I would love to be serving at this point, although I know undeniably that I am where I am called at this point. The choice to remain and serve is hard at times, though.
Blessings,
Sheila
