I now understand why God allowed me to experience the distraught I faced a couple of weeks back at work. He sent me a wake up call, because He loves and cares for me, hence He wants to keep me holding on to Him--daily. It's His desire that I become dependent on Him day by day, instead of coming to Him whenever I'm in trouble or only when I need Him. I'll always remember a quote that stroke me when I first read it, but it makes perfect sense: "Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines." I was doing too well, not only at work but in other aspects of my life-- which made me lose track and focus of Jesus. I didn't have the need to depend on Him anymore, because when the waters are calmed, we tend to forget to call upon Him.
I thank YOU Jesus for the storms, for it is in them that I come into perfect position and fall to my knees in order that I keep humble, and allowing me to admit that I am absolutely NOTHING if you aren't the central and most essential part of my life...
