Good morning and happy Wednesday. I was watching my little dog nuzzle and paw and work pretty hard at getting his blanket just right before he laid down in it. Working that hard just to get comfortable, crazy. How many times has your sleep been bad because you couldn't get comfortable. And it's not the comfort we need, it's the rest. But to get to the rest we have to be comfortable. A song that comes to mind says we "yearn for peace and rest". Why? We sleep all night. Took a nap during the day. We should be plenty rested. But I bet your not. I know I'm not. Is it because I can't get comfortable? Is it because I let life take over instead of letting it go? And I don't mean let it go as in being irresponsible. And just what is rest really? We don't know how to find quiet time from the world. We don't know how to take that time to find comfort in who and what we are. We don't know how to use that to help us find rest. So my suggestion is this; find that place where you know God has met you before and stand there in His presence. This is the place we all walk away from and have no idea why. Shut the world off and listen to Him speak over you, the words of His peace and there you will find rest. The kind of rest you have never had before. Only God can give us true rest. We need that rest more than we know. We kid ourselves that we're ok we got it under control, In this day of instant gratification, we don't how to be patient. It takes a little work to get the blanket just right to find that rest we so desire and so desperately need. In love always. <><
