Daily Praise: June 1, 2010
Thank You for the spaces of rest You give me. Sometimes I feel weighted down under a heavy load, like I won't be able to make it, like I just can't take one more step. Then at precisely the right moment You lighten my load. You lift the burden I've been carrying, take it in Your hands, and give me sweet repose and relaxation. It's just what I need. When I can't go on, and only You could know that I need surcease from troubles, You give me a touch of Your heavenly love.
You give me spaces between the struggles. You give me peace in the midst of storm. You give me rays of joy through the rain of sorrow, and the shelter of peace from the raging winds of trouble. Everything that comes from Your hand is perfect--the joys and the love, the difficulties and the testings. But in Your love, You give me times of such peace and tranquility.
I know that You've planned everything that happens. You told me to walk down this path--that You've arranged my steps one step at a time--one footstep, then the next, then the next. You told me to carry my cross faithfully and diligently. You told me to be a sample of Your love, to carry Your sunshine in my heart and to wear a smile on my face for others to see. Thank You that You not only show me the way to go, but You show me how to go, because Your loving words lead me along. I love You, Jesus.
