Fighting chronic faitigue remains hard. At the moment there is not much progress.
I can do some work again, yet I would love to do more. Even the little bit I do, seems to be too much at times. Did I go back too early? I hope not.
I enjoy my preaching. I enjoy making sermons. The visits I make I also enjoy. So I'm thankful for what I can do and just have to be patient.
My daily meditations often remind me of this.
Let me just share from "Streams in the desert" what I read today, April 26:
"We tend to feel we are doing the greatest good in the world, when we are strong and fit for active duty and when our hearts and hands are busy with kinds of active service. Therefore when we are set aside to suffer, when we are sick, when we are consumed with pain, and when all our activities have been stopped, we feel we are no longer of any use and accomplishing nothing.
Yet if we will be patient and submissive, it is almost certain we will be a greater blessing to the world around us during our time of suffering and pain than we were when we thought we were doing our greatest work."
For the candle to shine, first it has to be lit to burn!
It's lesson at times hard to learn and yet it is so true.
God knows what is best for all of us.
