‘And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.”‘ (Mark 6:31)
Beloved, take a moment today to edify your spirit.
Do you sometimes feel weary? Are tired out from the demands of the world?
Does it sometimes seem like even your closest loved ones are causing strain on your spirit?
Perhaps it’s because you’re trying your best to provide for them.
Perhaps it’s because you’re trying to carry all the burdens for them so they can be worry-free.
Perhaps it’s simply because you’re exhausted.
Exhausted from trying so hard. Exhausted from constantly thinking of what to do next.
Well, favoured child of God, I have good news for you.
Just as you wanted to carry your loved ones’ burdens, your Heavenly Father wants to carry yours.
Come now. Come to Jesus and refresh yourself.
Take off the heavy armour. Lower the bulky shield. Lay down the sword.
There’s no need to fight here. God is here for you and victory is already yours through Christ.
Your feet may be covered in dust and dirt as you fight for your loved ones, but Jesus is waiting to wash them clean with cool, relaxing water.
Refresh yourself in the spring of life and rejuvenate your spirit.
Rest now. Rest in the comforting presence of the Lord. Take shelter in the shadow of the Almighty.
Let Jesus carry your burdens, for His yoke is light.
All is well. And the best is yet to come. You’ll see.
Be Greatly Blessed
