One of my testimonies of faith relates to business and a growing relationship. In 2007 I came to faith in Christ after years of pushing against giving up control to God. After I was saved I met a wonderful women who was a believer in Christ.
We got to know each other and it was evident that this was the perfect woman for me. At that time I received a job offer out of state as a “Director.” My pride led me to pursue the role, even arguing in my own mind that I could maintain the relationship out of state.
Many strong believers counseled me against taking the role and risking the relationship, but I blew them off. I was offered the role verbally and, that same night, talked to my girlfriend about our future.
The very next day the role was removed and the opportunity went away. Looking back, this was the best thing that could have happened as Christ wanted me to be with this wonderful woman. Fast forward to today and we have been married for 13 years.

This is a testimony that I pass on often. Pursue the things of God first and not pride. God will bless this.

My Advice

Pursue the things of God with your Faith, family, relationships and then business, and in that order.
