Light as a feather

Awaking to the cool morning, I read the Daily Bread article on 'Light As A Feather', with reference to 2 Samuel 6: 12 - 23. Reading this Bible passage refreshes my weary soul, having being tormented by the pain of my severe muscle spasms and prolapsed disc (commonly known as slipped disc) problem that presses on my nerves for the past 2 months, especially the past few days when I cried in pain to sleep.

Throughout the period of being tormented by the excruciating pain of my lower back, numbness and 'electric currents' that seem to flow through the right side of my body, I seem to have become joyless and even depressed, being physically and emotionally affected so much that I kept having mood swings. :-(
I love my friends and work at NIE CRPP, but the pain definitely affected all of it in one way or other. Feeling apologetic for bothering and burdening my friends cum colleagues around me with my pained mood swings. Sad feelings just overwhelm me now and then. Hope I don't scare my friends away. :-( Sorry, my friends.

Time and again, God's Word has come to me timely through Bible reading and Christian friends to comfort and strengthen me. Thankful for the dear sisters in Christ whom I have to be there to renew my love and joy in the LORD once again.

Yes, I am reminded God is my TRUE FRIEND, always there for me and never forsakes me. He's there for me 24/7, carrying me through my toughest times. Good times, bad times, He is with me. Whenever I feel that nobody seems to care about me, I know deep in my heart that GOD cares for me coz He LOVES me having sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for my sins though I am such an unworthy sinner. It's a blessed assurance as a Christian to know God is my Friend, my Counsellor, the Rock of my Salvation and Refuge!

Indeed, like the Bible verse Proverbs 17:22 "A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones."
In Ecclesiastes 3:4 "...Take time to laugh."

Laughter has been a gift of God's goodness that carried me through some of life's darkest days. the joy of the LORD has often been my refuge and strength (c.f. Nehemiah 8:10)

Like King David, my spirit is buoyant and I feel "as light as a feather" when I cast my cares upon the LORD my God who renews my strength, love n joy. Simply trust n obey, turning my eyes upon the LORD Jesus Christ. Oh God, that I fix my eyes upon YOU and not lose my direction!

A merry heart is like a medicine -
It's soothing for your sadness, gives you joy;
So lift your voice and let your spirit soar -
True happiness is yours without alloy.

Wholesome laughter has great face value.
