Rest

It's Sunday night and I'm winding down. It's a great time to talk about rest. We live in a 24/7 world. The fact that I'm sitting in bed blogging is an indicator of how much our world has changed in the last few years. Earlier today I shared a message at Heritage drawn from the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:25-30. His invitation is amazing. It seemed to me like an appropriate message for moms on Mothers Day. Jesus invites us to come to Him and find rest. Weariness is epidemic today. Yet rest is available. Why do we go without rest? I'm not talking about physical fatigue. I'm talking about soul fatigue. It's because we try to find rest outside of our relationship with Jesus. Real rest, true rest, soul rest cannot be found outside of our relationship with our Savior.
