Take A Real Rest

“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” Mat 11:28-30 The Message

Has anyone made you a better offer than that lately? Anyone ever said, “Hey there busy little bee, I see the frenzied buzz of your life and I’d like to teach you ‘the unforced rhythms of grace.’” Perhaps you're so hurried, its hard to imagine what Jesus is even saying. What does an unforced rhythm of grace look like? How do we live freely and lightly as bills pile up and downtime dwindles?


How? Read the passage again, “Watch how I do it.” That’s what The Savior said. If you take the time to read The Gospels and observe His Ways, you’ll begin to get a clear picture of the real Jesus and He may surprise you.



The humility of Jesus: He PRAYED for the Father's Will, not His own.

The patience of Jesus: He NEVER RUSHED, never cut in line or interrupted.

The kindness of Jesus: He NOTICED PEOPLE, He listened; yet He was God!

Are you heavy-laden? Jesus says "Come to Me" I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Next time you find yourself exhausted, take your bible out into nature with you, or into a bubble bath, or to the library, and just sit and ask Him to speak to you. He longs to teach us how to really live a life of unforced rhythms of grace. Ahhh.
