Just checking out some other blogs & saw a cool posting on finding rest. It was on Laura O.'s blog Record of My Insanity Reminds me of a passage in The Message. I have been holding on to these verses for a while now. It seems God keeps bringing me back to this truth. We don't find our rest in things, accomplishments, etc. etc. etc. We find our value, our worth, and our rest in him. We do make it so difficult.
Matthew 11.
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.
