Come to me all who are weary & I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
Sometimes we just need a gentle reminder that the results of our life’s circumstances and challenges do not hinge upon our ability to control the situations or the outcomes.
Ok, well maybe you need a gentle reminder.
Sometimes I need a kick in the pants.
It can be so hard to remember that we’re not in control.
Do we even want to be the ones in control?
I’d venture to say that no, we don’t really want to be in control because deep down we know we don’t have it all together.
Instead, Jesus offers for us to come.
Not go. Not do.
Just come.
The offer stands.
For you.
For me.
Now.
Tomorrow.
And next week when we forget that we’re not in control {ahem, again}.
He offers us rest.
The very thing our soul needs.
To drink in the life-giving water of Jesus.
To experience His peace.
Dear friend,
Today, come.
Accept the offer.
Come and find rest for your weary soul in the arms of Jesus.

Beautiful…and so true!
Thanks for stopping by Amanda!
Thankful for the rest we have in Him and for you sharing that reminder.
Absolutely. We must rest. Sometimes quite hard to remember though.
Yes, yes – such good wisdom to remember! Thanks so much for linking up with Sacro Speco!
It was wonderful to find you!
Isn’t it? I used to be hesitant to dive back into my relationship with God after long periods of time in the ‘dry and weary land’ far from that intimate relationship he desires with us. Now I am learning that he is always there – just like you said – with open arms, ready to receive me back again!
I’m so thankful that He continues to pursue me, no matter how busy I am and how much I put Him off. It’s so encouraging to know that He waits for me with open arms!
