So often we as humans seek to be praised for a job well done. We want someone to pat us on the back, to reward our efforts with raises, promotions, bonuses, and praise. We seek to be recognized. Often we work well into the night to finish that project or to complete that task, wanting someone to notice. Yet, often we go unnoticed in a busy world. Or even worse, 
all we did gets brushed under a rug like rubbish because someone else seeking to climb in importance by stepping on everyone around them throws poisonous darts and accusations. It happens everyday in the world of business and the journey of life. Everyday, hard working, dedicated Christians across this nation have lost their jobs because some cold, cruel corporation listened to the evil voices of the "climb to fame at all cost" crowd. I write this for you dear friend who has been the victim of the corporate wheels that roll on and as a warning to the corporate wheels who have lost sight of their mission and whose ears have been bewitched by voices of evil advice.
Dear Christian, always remember…
I Peter 118 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Your faith, your hope is in God. You are His Beloved, Blessed, Redeemed Chosen Adopted Child; heir of Royalty. No one on this earth can take that from you or separate you from His love once you have accepted Christ as your Savior. Sealed within the promises of God for you is that all things will work together for your good; even this that you may see as momentary conflict or pain is working for you a greater weight of Glory. Never, ever lose sight of that. Do not seek any further after man’s praise, seek after the only treasure that can fulfill the loneliness of your broken heart–God. You were created as a vessel to receive His abounding love for you and nothing else can fill that void but your creator.
And to the Corporate Wheels, always remember…
I Peter 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
