REST, DEAR CHILD!
When I tell you MY God will RECKLESSLY chase you down until He has your undivided attention... MY GOD! Over the last year I have been so busy with school and work that I have not been spending much time with God. My spirit has been struggling with this busyness.
While some may enjoy being busy all the time, when I don't have that time with God, my spirit can not rest! I am physically exhausted because I hadn't really taken the time to rest in Him...To rest in the Father's arms. Tonight, I spent time with Him and it refreshed my soul! I realized why I have been so anxious, on edge, worried, stressed, and it's because I have refused to REST in Him. Oh, the peace He gives if we just rest in Him. Oh, the hope He gives if we would just rest in Him. Oh, the comfort He gives if we just just rest in His arms.
Never again do I want to get so busy that I forget to spend time with the giver of all things good. It's rejuvenating to rest in Him. So, lay your all burdens - anxious thoughts, worries, shortcomings, weaknesses at His feet and rest in His arms, dear child.
