Have you ever wanted, just some down time?
That is, time to rest and relax and take in life. Instead of, it always taking from you?
Well, my friends, if no where else in the world you can find that time. That place of rest, which you so desperately need.
You can find it right where you are, in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The Amplified Bible says this in Matthew 11:29-30. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. [Jer. 6:16.]
30 For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.
My friends, when everything around you seems to be getting the best of you. Take a few minutes and find your time with the Lord and bathe in His Word. It will surely begin to lift you up and give you the rest your soul (mind, will, and emotions) so very much needs.
He says, He won’t load or let you down! Instead, He will give you rest. Oh praise the Lord, God Almighty!
