By His strength

Craving : Raspberry Ice Tea

It is the end of a long day at work right now and still I am in the office. I'm taking a break as I wait for some of my collegues to get some testing done before I resume working on the program again. I have to say I am bushed. I am all tired out, drained both mentally and physically, but somehow I am still trudging on. Have you ever felt so tired that you just didn't want to do anything at all, but at the same time there was just so much you have to do? Maybe you have felt like you really don't have the strength to cross all the rocky mountains that life throws at you. Well that's how I feel right now. Drained. Yet it is at this time that I really rely on God's strength and His grace. I know that He is there looking down on me from His throne in heaven and holding me up with His hand, guiding me on. I know sometimes it is just so hard to seem optimistic, especially when things look so bad, but this is the time that God reveals Himself, because it is the time when I have acknowledge that I am not strong enough and only Christ can get me through. Yet isn't it sad that it is only during this time when I feel closest to Him? Why is it like this? Why? Why can't I be the closest to Him during times of Joy? The answer, because of my own selfish self. Thank God for His unconditional love.
