I am laying it down for the joy of the Lord!

Felt emotional today. Many things just got on top of me. My colleague annoyed me and another manager told me off for taking my lunch home instead of eating at the canteen. I did not even know that I was not allowed to do that!

I knew I just needed to spend time with God. I need to be refreshed in His Spirit. I need His strength. Things seem so much bigger and much worse when I am not full of His Spirit. I need to be constantly walking with the Spirit and not in my own strength, i.e walking in the flesh.

And so, I am trading all my sorrows, my pain and my emotional burden and I am laying them all down for the joy of the Lord!

When I have His joy, I will have His strength! What a marvelous exchange! :)

Thank you, Jesus!!!
