In today's troubling employment climate one phrase can break a heart, a home, even a church. "I'm sorry but we can't use you." Seven brutal words.
Notice the seven words are in quotes meaning they were actually stated. Walt Keisling uttered this exact phrase in 1955 and they are repeated many times each day. You need to know that "I'm sorry but we can't use you." need not be the end of your world, some other operation can use you if you don't give up.
Seven brutal words, uttered in 1955 by Walt Keisling are known as the most haunting words Walt Keisling ever said. He said them to a kid who had played football at the University of Louisville but the kid did not have the moxy to play for the Pittsburg Steelers. So after playing sandlot semi-pro for $6 a game, Johnny Unitas walked off into the oblivion of the Baltimore Colts.
There will always be an expert who lets you know that in his/her opinion you can’t cut it. Thank them for their honest opinion and continue following the course you are convinced the Lord has chosen for you. Continue to upgrade your skills, play below your true level if necessary, keep the glint in your eye, hope in your heart and give it all you have. Simple? Sure.
Psalms 31:24 "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD."
