today I am thankful for rest. today I am thankful for restful days.
so often in this life, I find myself in a place of stress and worry. I find myself tired and weary.
so often in this life, I find myself straying away from the feet of Jesus and becoming less & less focused on all He is, on all He does.
so often in this life, I find myself forgetting the peace Jesus provides. I find myself denying the rest only the Lord can give.
today I am thankful for sweet promises spoken by Jesus.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28
such a simple, yet beautiful promise. "...and I will give you rest."
I can't get over that phrase.
my heart is overwhelmed and satisfied by the peace I find in the rest provided by the Lord.
Psalm 62:1says, "Truly my soul find rest in God; my salvation comes from him."
today I am thankful for a God who breaks through the sorrows of this world and provides rest.
and gives salvation.
and pours out love.
