My
job is to find errors…to keep quality at high standards… Oops! I’m not a
perfectionist. Not a faultfinder either (sometimes…yes.)!
My job is. So I
should be…in my job.  Errors
overlooked are bombs blowing before me…ending my contract with my
employer. If I fail to
see them, I am not fit for my job.
I should go home and find another one suited for me.
It
happens that when you find that everything is in a perfect mess from
the very beginning, you can be very angry.
And as you go on, you dig more mistakes.
It’s really upsetting! And
what’s more upsetting is when your boss sees errors which you failed
to see..
There
was once a circumstance when my boss called to inform me that I
overlooked something and the client of our division was really upset.
The client told my boss that I did not do my job well.
I was a mediocre, in other words. It was a slap on my face.
It was like saying that I never did anything right.
How could I overlook a real problem or issue after thorough
quality control procedures? It
was my blind spot. I saw
some flaws but not all. Not
the more important one. How
disappointing!
In
this one mistake, it seemed that what I did with my client’s staff
had backfired on me. I
was then very angry having a look at the job of the client’s staff. Now it was me who had committed a mistake.
It had caused me worry. It
was a perfect hit on my pride. And
I asked God, “Why did that ever happen?” And He answered me, “I
did not intend to cause you pain or worry.
I just wanted to tell you that I love you very much.”
What? I could not
understand it. I had to stumble to realize that I was not leaning
fully on His strength and wisdom.
Yes
indeed! He really loves me…us.
Because He first loved us when we were still sinners.
He offered His life for us on the Cross without laying down any
conditions. He denied
Himself. He accepted all
the shame being hanged on that tree.
He left all the glory of His kingdom for us.
What
if God were like me (in my job)?
Would anyone be qualified as citizens of heaven?
We would all be mediocre as we are prone to commit sins.
Nobody is infallible. We
all have blind spots. Like
a mote in our eye we sometimes don’t notice it.
But in our blind spot, the Lord is certainly there with His
most tender, pure and everlasting love for us.
So don’t worry about having a blind spot in your life because
God will take care of
that….if you allow Him.
