"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly." Matthew 11:28, The Bible (The Message Version)
We all seem to operate from various checklists of all the things that we need to do.
Some things are necessary like buying food and some are distractions too...
At times life can cause us to run around so much that we forget to take it slow.
We put on brave faces as we run around - despite the stress that begins to show.
This scripture reminds us that there is a place we can stop and find rest.
God offers us a space in him to take a seat and to experience pampering at its best.
If life is stressing you out, wearing you down and you don't know where to go.
God promises to show us a more relaxed way to live, so that new life will begin to grow!
