We moved to Southampton during the summer - a bit of a step of faith as neither of us had jobs down here yet. At first, we were so thankful for the blessing of time to get the house sorted and settle in without also having to dive into a new job. But over time - and a few rejections later - it became harder to keep my eyes on God and trust Him to provide for us.
I've filled in lots of application forms and had a few interviews and this morning during my morning time with God, this came to me:
God's Job Offer to You
Position: child of the King
Title: Beloved
Salary: every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus
Length of contract: eternal, permanent, irrevocable
Hours: every moment of every day for the rest of your life
References: not needed - He knows about every day of your life already
Responsibilities:
- accept the position
- receive His love for you
- trust His promises
- believe you are loved
- let yourself be who He made you to be, not who others tell you you should be

- an eternal dwelling prepared for you
- treasure that is eternally secure
- the presence of Holy Spirit
- love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control
- many others too numerous to be listed here but which will be revealed to you day by day should you accept the role
