0:43 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. A lot of times we tend to look at life as a whole when we see, you know, oh my gosh, something has happening your past, or you went through something bad in your past, and we think that that is going to determine certain things as it comes or unfolds in your life. Now, let me give you some two practical examples. Now, one of the things people say, we got jobs for example, you know, trying not to get laid off, or you know, when you're trying to apply for a new job, you know, don't say you already lost a job.

1:22 Or you're not working. You know, always get a new job before you quit the previous one. But if you've already lost your job or you're unemployed, you getting a new job, the chances are very, very bleak, So try to avoid you know, you know kind of pressure that mounts on a lot of people. So if somebody has lost their job or they quit their job for some reason they couldn't bear and they've still not found one, you know, it seems like, oh my gosh, you made a mistake. You You're never going to get another one.

1:52 It's going to be hard, it's going to be difficult, it's not going to work out for you. That kind of a pressure kinds of kind of comes and of people use that or allow that to make them feel more miserable and hurt because of what happened in the past. Another example is UM in day of choosing relationships or marriages. One of the things I've seen, um, you know, me being a Christian single, I can share this even in um you know, all these matrimony or all of these sites, dating apps and all of these things.

2:23 One of the things you've seen is you know, the a lot of people put this filter, you know, I want somebody who's not yet married, you know what I mean. So if somebody has gone through maybe a divorce or are widowed for some reason, right, um, you know, they're just filtered off, and the chances for such people seems very bleak. You know that that's the way it seems. Uh. And and a lot of times, you know, people are like, oh my gosh, I've went through this divorce even though it's not my fault, is entirely the fault of the other person.

2:59 But I'm going through this. This is something you know, a conversation I was having with a friend recently, you know, like where she was going through this not at all because of her fault, but because of the other person's choice. But you know she was going through a tough time because of this. And you know, you may be in a place today where you're saying, you know what, John, I went through something in the past. Maybe something that you've gone through or experienced in the past that you think will determine or affect the decisions or will affect your future, will affect your present, you get what I'm saying.

3:37 See, I'm not denying the facts, right, It's the reality is true. You know the odds are regainst you. But what I want you to understand is above all of that is the goodness of God. Above all of that is the faithfulness of God. Above all of that is the hand of God upon your life. That's what I want to remind you today. You know, the Lot reminding me of You know, when you think about Ruth in the Bible, we always look at it as Wow, Ruth and bo As they got together, and that's kind of like one of those love stories of the Bible that you know a lot of people are looking up to, especially when you talk about maybe in terms of learning about it, dating and learning about relationships and all of these things.

4:18 But but yes, the thing I want you to understand. The Lodges reminded me the other day that did you notice that Ruth was actually a widow and still Boas chose her? You know, bo has could have been like you know what, I don't want a wido, I just want brand new you know, stuff like that, Like he chose her, he accepted her. You get what I'm saying. And a lot reminded me of this and said, see on the world perspective, if somebody's a widow or or you know, or gone through a divorce or something like that is like rejected.

4:54 You know, you know they're off. You know people don't want to say like people don't want to That's the where the world says, amis yes. But you know what, in spite of all of your past, God is going to make sure that the right people, the right boas, is going to choose you. In spite of your past, what I want you guys to understand is, yes, you might have lost jobs, you might have been in a place where you quite a job because of some reason, and now you're still not God one and all the authors are against you.

5:28 But I want to tell you, in spite of your past, God is going to make sure the right boas or the right company is going to choose you next. I want you to be in a place of peace, trust in the Lord. He is the one writing your life, not other people. See when you look at root story, you know the fact that she was a widow. It was it was not in her hands that her husband passed away. It see, life just happens, but it was unfair initially. But I want you to understand inspired of all of that, God is beyond it.

6:02 God is in a place where he knows what's best for you. He knows who's best for you. He knows how to make the right bois to choose you, the right doors to open for you, the right opportunities to come your way, and evil still make sure that you fulfill your God given destiny today. That's the word of encouragement for all of you that in spite of all the things that happen in the past, your past does not define your future. I want you to understand that God is going to make sure that the right people, the right company, the right doors, the right choices, the right opportunities are going to choose you in spite of your past.
