Rest for The Weary

Ever feel like life is accelerating beyond your capacity to keep up? Recently, the pace of life and an increase in activities have slowed the frequency of my blogging. Life’s demands are heavy on many people these days. If that is you, here is a word from God’s Word to encourage you. It comes from the Bible paraphrase called “The Message” and is found in Matthew 11:28-30. Listen closely at what Jesus has to say.

"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."
