feel immense relief, (once that have overcome the initial

shock), at losing their job. This could be a job that they

were under the impression they loved as it gave them the

means of a better material life. Had they looked at it

from a spiritual perspective they would have realised

that the life they had subjected themselves to, was a life

of subservience to an employer other than God, and to

fulfil a role that was not in accordance with the plan of

their Spirit. You can only be happy and fulfilled working

for God. You might think that God will not pay you
money for the work you do for God but God can ensure

you have enough income to service your needs through
the work you enjoy doing. The reason you enjoy the work

is because it is your vocation, the work your Spirit needs

you to do and that it can evolve while you do it. A happy

life needs less money. Simplicity is inexpensive. There are

so many ways that your life can be spiritually improved

and yet still not be devoid of certain luxury. Your life is

not meant to be one of austerity, pain and suffering.
