Joy and Strength

Today is Monday again. Time really passes swiftly. Its like a never ending cycle till eternity. Monday Monday and Monday…..


Its been almost 4 years since I’ve started working, and Monday is still like a thorn in my flesh. Gives me uneasiness and restlessness. But if there is a time when I can write and ponder about Mondays, it is always a time of Joy and Strength. And this time of tribute of Mondays is a period of many moments of Joy and Strength in my entire life!


I stepped into office at about 8.30am in the morning. This morning is an extremely tired and blue day. I felt very restless. With my notebook on, I surfed the internet for Christianity articles and read the Christian emails (which I subscribed) to till 10am in the morning! I am like a car engine that needs to be warmed up before setting off.


Then I started smsing my friends, and emailing my sister. In my smses and emails, I wish them joy and strength. I gave them greetings and encouraging words. After a while, I start to feel that the heaviness and restlessness within me started to lift. And I could almost feel the tangible feeling of Joy and Strength sinking into my heart.


Slowly, I started to feel really joyful. There’s a deep feeling of excitement and happiness within me. I began to feel happy reading and replying work emails. I felt a deep sense of satisfaction just typing the key board as I am doing my work. I enjoyed looking at my spacious and tidy desk, with a nice little cup of hot tea on it. I love walking around the office with my cool black jacket. And even the phone calls do not seem to disturb me.


Wow…… the process of Joy and Strength sinking into my heart is indescribable! This is a process of great transformation. Indeed what is written in the bible is so true:


Gal 6: 7
………….A man reaps what he sows…………..


I sow joy and encouragement into the lives of others; I reap back the same Joy and Strength myself. And its coming back to me more than a hundred fold. I really felt so joyful in the office. I even called up my sister in the morning and kept giggling to her over the phone to tell her how happy I was…… Really so happy…….. hahahaha……
