Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you will recover your life. I will show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me-watch how I do it. Learn the unforced ryhthms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill fitting on you. Keep company with me and you will learn to live freely and lightly. Matthew 11:28-30 (message bible)
This passage has been so refreshing for me this past week. I am making this part of my daily prayer. I want to watch, learn, and grow as I watch God work in and through me. I don’t know about you but I need a rest every know and then. I need to get lost in God and not in the doing of God. Sometimes we need to be renewed so we can hear clearly again. I have been able to share this passage with a few very dear ladies this past week and I know it is God. I encourage all of you to find your rest in Christ Jesus. Not people or places or things. He is the only one that will sustain you when you are going through a difficult situation. He is the only one that will listen with out giving opinion. He is the only one that can give you a way out of the situation you are in. It may not me easy and people may think you are crazy but remember God can and will pull you out of the mirry clay and transform you and your life and family into something new. So today I pray NEW hope, New peace, New rest, New Grace, New love on you. Rest in Him. Make your request known to HIm clearly and to the point. Watch him work. He is waiting on you to ask so He can move. It is never to late, to long, and you are never to far gone for God!
