The greatest strength of all is within me. It's from this strength I must learn to draw. "Pray without ceasing", You said. "Cast all your cares upon me", You said. "CONSIDER HIM!", You had Paul write. Consider Him.
Thirty years of waiting.
Three years of teaching, healing, and guiding the people He loved.
Then torture, unspeakable hours of torture, deserted and despised by the people He had given up Heaven just to be able to reach out toward.
Consider Him: the Lamb of God, seated on the Throne, our great High Priest, our Savior, who loved us more then Himself and suffered all for our sake. Consider Him.
God, don't let me be so self righteous as to deny myself the only comfort I can have. Remember me according to Your love! Hold me tight! Press me into You; keep me close to You; guard my silly, little heart.
