Writing a Résumé

Everyone who has searched for employment knows that one of the first things that you must do is write your résumé. Your résumé, if written properly, might be the one thing that catches a potential employer’s eye. Conversely, if it is written poorly you may be passed over for another candidate who has a résumé that catches that employer’s eye.
As I wrote my own résumé, touting my triumphs and downplaying my failures, I couldn't help but think about my spiritual résumé. What will it look like and how will it be received when I stand before the Lord at my time of judgment. Will he look favorably upon me with what I have done in the time he has given me? Does it show that I have helped my fellow man or only helped myself while I have been here? Have I lived up to my profession promises of living a Gospel life or have I failed? Have I failed because of circumstances that I was unable to overcome or because of my own obstinacy? These are questions that we should not have to wait to discern. These are questions that we should think and pray about everyday. “Am I serving my fellow man?” “Am I fulfilling my profession promises?” “ Have I forgiven my brother?”
As we all know too well the path that we travel in this life may seem easy at times, difficult at others but never one that we will not conquer as long as we carry in our hearts our faith in God and the courage to share the truths of that faith with those around us.
