Correction

Yesterday Kristen had a conversation with the boy she asked to MORP. As it turns out, he was never asked by the other girl or has he given a response. They've talked about going together and he's waiting for her to ask him in a creative way.

Now Kristen feels rejected. She was coping with being late in the asking, but now she has been rejected, though she did everything right.

Sometimes no matter what our intentions, what good things we do for people, how much we sacrifice, or how hard we work, sometimes there is no reward, let alone appreciation. But, we're soldiers, not here for the glory of men, but here to take whatever hits the enemy may have for us and whatever God allows to refine us.

Praise God for his wisdom. He sees what is to come and prepares us for it. He allows us to see what we need of the future to give us wisdom to recognize our circumstances for what they are and to comfort us.

Remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood. It's comforting to know that He knows what's going on and that He's in control.
