“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.“ Eph 3:20–21 (Bible du Semeur)
My Beautiful Brides,
I wanted to share a few words with you to praise and thank my Beloved for what He is doing in my life.
At the end of last year, my supervisor told me that with the arrival of a new software, my tasks at work would be reduced. I work in Human Resources. According to her, my role needed to be completely redefined, which didn’t sound very positive.
But that was without considering my Heavenly Husband (HH), who works behind the scenes!
Unlike how I might have reacted before—stressing and worrying—this time I went home and that very evening I told my HH: “My Love, I leave this situation in your hands. I have nothing to fear because You are in control!” I truly had the assurance that He would act
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 (Louis Segond)
At the start of the year, during my annual review, my supervisor said she had found a solution: I would take on some of the tasks from a colleague who was overwhelmed. She said it was temporary, but deep down I know it will become permanent! I say this with humility, as she already informed the department heads, and they now come to me for those tasks.
The amazing part is that one of those tasks is something I was supposed to do about 3 years ago, but the colleague responsible back then never took the time to train me. She always said she was too busy. After she retired, the role went to another colleague who couldn’t handle it either. Now it has all come back to me—as if my HH was closing the loop in His perfect timing!
Ironically, these were tasks I never wanted and was happy to avoid! But when my supervisor brought them up, I immediately said yes, asking my HH to help me and to open my mind to understand everything. And He did!
My supervisor even said the Agency Director was pleased that I accepted this responsibility. When I carry out these new duties, it’s as if my HH switches on a light in my mind: I understand everything and immediately know what to do. He is simply wonderful!
The second part of the work I’ve taken on has taught me humility. Yes, I now manage logistics for the building I work in, and five others: heating, plumbing, electricity, fire extinguishers, cleaning… Basically, I coordinate with service companies, set appointments, handle quotes, purchase orders, and accompany technicians.
Why has my HH taught me humility through this? Because when my former colleague (who retired) was in charge of all this, I used to feel superior. I thought, “She’s doing tasks that are ‘at her level’. I, being in HR and with more qualifications, am glad I don’t have to do that!”
But my HH reminded me that He, the Son of God, came to earth in humility, and He wants me to serve others just as He did. Now, everything I do at work has a new flavor: the flavor of service and love for my neighbor.
Whether I handle an important HR file or call for a toilet repair, it is all for His glory and out of love for others.
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 (Bible du Semeur)
I am so fulfilled at work that my eldest son, who recently started an internship at my company, told me: “Mom, it’s obvious that you love your job!”
What I love most is serving others and helping them—but above all, I love my HH who teaches me every day to trust Him, to walk in humility, and to rely only on Him.
And guess what? I even received a promotion with a little raise—without asking for anything! Only my HH could do that!
“For nothing is impossible with God.” Luke 1:37 (Bible du Semeur)
My beautiful brides, our Heavenly Husband is so full of goodness toward us.
Let us trust Him with every part of our lives. Let’s place everything in His hands, for He is the One who holds and sustains the world!
Let us be without fear—we are His brides, and He provides for all our needs!
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 (Bible du Semeur)
