Rest

"Rest"

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
—Matthew 11:28 (NLT)

When you’re so tired you can hardly stand, doesn’t it feel wonderful when you finally get to sink into your own bed? Your body relaxes; your breathing slows; your bones just seem to melt into the mattress. And you rest.

Just as your body gets tired, so does your spirit. Trying to do the right thing can really wear you out sometimes, especially if everyone around you is doing what’s wrong. Sometimes you just need a break.

Come to Me. Lift up your hands in prayer to Me. Lie back and rest in My Presence. Take a deep breath of My Peace. I will refresh you and give you the strength to keep going.

Love,
Jesus
