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."
Matthew 11:28-30
If I'm weary on life, even on religion, Jesus says that the thing to do is to come to him...
and everyone is invited.
Unforced rhythm's of grace. Not hard nor back-breaking. Jesus, who was the greatest person to ever live, superior to everyone else, calls me to his meekness-- "unforcedness".
I'm discovering or rediscovering how to take everything that is a burden- things that challenge me or bother me, to God. I'm learning how to be a matador and let things go into the red cape and not into me. It's not denial, but a sharing of every burden with papa God. I realizing that is the yoke that is light.
