Strength

The unbearable heat we have been having in Pietermaritzburg lately, has certainly sapped our strength. There seems no escape from it, yet we have to hang in there, until we feel strong enough to carry on with other things.

When we feel that our strength has been sapped from our spiritual lives, where do we begin to restore this energy and strength? I believe we have to start by drinking from the well that Jesus spoke about in John 4 - there we will find water to quench our thirst and help us on our journey.

"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection." - Leonardo Da Vinci

"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. " - Mother Teresa
