I’m a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down”

Abraham Lincoln

Maybe you’ve heard this quote before or maybe you haven’t, but chances are you haven’t thought about it in a slightly different context of a word friend.

I know for myself that I certainly wouldn’t be here right now without my dearest friend, who helped me in the toughest of times. Last year I lost the job that I loved and to say “loved” might actually be an understatement. I really enjoyed doing it and on top of that the pay was one of the highest in the whole country, a dream situation. I was devastated and, at times, I still am, I am still recovering from that smack of reality.

However through that loss I met a great friend and who knows if I would have met him if I hadn’t had lost that job. Meeting him also pushed me into marrying my wife (we had a civil marriage before), this time in church, in front of our friends and family and to try going for a second child after the wedding.

All of this would have been impossible without that friend that I met at just the right time, and that friend that I am talking about is Jesus Christ and God almighty. It seemed ridicules to go for a second child with both of us being unemployed, but we felt kind of called to do it… and you know what? It is turning out to be just fine and I can feel and see God protecting us and guiding us in all aspects of our life.

I did something because I didn’t want to let my God down and it seemed to have directed me towards some beautiful family success. Do something good for God and I guarantee you He’ll see your effort and award you in due time. He really is a good and just God.
