Life is not about comfort. It’s about saying “God gave me another mountain.”

Why We All Need A John Sculley In Our Lives
I was watching the movie Jobs, the biopic of Apple’s founder Steve Jobs and one scene in particular really hit me. The scene where current CEO John Sculley , Mike Markkula and the rest of the board went around the table deciding the fate of Steve Jobs with a show of hands. The scene pauses at Mike Markulla’s turn to see if he would support Jobs. You could see the betrayal in eyes of Jobs as each board member including Mike Markulla sides with Sculley which results in Jobs removal from the Macintosh project and demotion. Ouch!
Does this scene sound familiar? Ever been in this place?

Are you in a place right now where life doesn’t make sense and you’re ready to give up? You’ve asked God over and over again to save you from this guilt, this pain, this rejection, this health issue, this [fill in the blank] and all that seems to happen is the relentless pounding of the enemy. Sound familiar?
I love this response that John Eldredge offers up during an interview with Christianbook.com.
Christianbook.com: Would you like to offer a word of encouragement to those who are desperately trying to live out this Epic and sometimes find it hard to believe in a happy ending?
