Handling Difficult Circumstances…Taking Christianity Into the World

Perhaps you are having a hard time with a person at work, maybe there is a naysayer in your social or Bible study group who always speaks negatively regardless of what is being discussed. Maybe you are a teacher, parent, boss, or worker and are facing troubling circumstances and challenges to your spirit and your soul. It is a these times when I most strive to center myself in the love of Jesus relying upon his wisdom and strength to both get me through and to encourage others.

“An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.”

Proverbs 12:25

As a CPA I often face challenging circumstances ranging from job loss, IRS Representation Issues, Back Taxes, Offer in Compromise and owing large amounts of taxes to either the IRS or state of Georgia. It is during these times that my clients need me the most and when I strive to be the most attuned to the Holy Spirit to speak and send words of encouragement perhaps when someone around you needs it the most. Therefore be sensitive to the needs of others and the promptings of the Spirit to help out those in distress.  Recently I received this note from a client when I sent along such words of encouragement to encourage you, to encourage others. Be still and listed to God, and He will direct your words to those who need them the most.

How profound is the prompting of the Holy Spirit! You will never really understand how the Lord just used you… for me. Everything is so overwhelming ..and I felt like I was going under and then…. you send this.

How do you thank someone whose heart is in tune to the will of God? Keep allowing his illumination in your life to touch others. He has used you to calm the heart of his child and that is priceless.

Thank you, John.
