“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
Friend, let’s talk about rest.
Retreat is not true rest. If we are not careful, we retreat not only from hard things, but we retreat from God.
Healthy rest includes space for God, because healthy rest comes FROM God.
If our “rest” isn’t helping our weary souls, let’s consider:
A quiet walk sprinkled with prayer.
A cup of tea with an encouraging friend.
A comfy corner of the sofa with a Biblically inspired book.
A bubble bath with praise music.
Or a favorite blanket, your Bible, and the light of a candle.
Invite God into your rest, for He has already invited you into His.
Until next time,
Shelby
