I am very grateful today since once again I am refreshed and reminded that The Lord knows very well how to comfort His servants. Yes, even though I am an unworthy servant of His but His Love and Faithfulness are beyond what I can describe.
I had a rough time recently, being busy, tired and then got a severe anxiety. It's like I want to take control immediately of the things I am dealing with so that I could simply enjoy the moment. Yet the more I tried to do so, the further joy and peace flew from my heart. When I think I must change the external circumstances to be happy, when I want to be satisfied immediately with attentions and the service of others it means I have been side-tracked by my self-centeredness. Lord, have mercy! How easy it is for me to be trapped in the midst of the mirage of worldly cares! One thing is needful that is to listen to the Lord very faithfully and keep our minds and hearts in remembrance of Him.
Whenever the works and all the emotional traits demand from us more than it should be, it's time to pull ourselves out and attend to the most needful thing for us: the remembrance of the Lord. I'd been really tempted to deal with many cares which actually not only non-beneficial but also harmful to my soul. The Lord is always faithful and patient.
He knows exactly how timid and distractive I am, yet in His mercy He reach out His hands for me to grab. He is a Father who is very easy to be pleased but really hard to be satisfied, since He wants everyone of us be perfect like He is. It's always great to remember to lay our cares and even the very we are unto Him and He will give us His yoke which is light and brings unspeakable peace. He is gentle and humble in heart, let's learn from Him, even trust Him in everything! His Love is pure and sincere.
Lord, May Your will be done in every moments in my life. Through all things which You send, give my heart peace and gladness to welcome them and rejoice in You. Because I live in You and I am yours, save me! For everyone who loves, rejoices, and open their hands in love, bless them. For those who dislikes, mistrust and misunderstand.. Grant them mercy! For you are the Lord of all, the Merciful Master, the Lover of Mankind both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
