Take a Break!

Take a Break!

You have been pushing on forward. You have been climbing up this mountain and have been struggling. You have collected many tools and many tricks along the way in your backpack and you are struggling up this mountain. You are pushing hard and are exhausted.

My child for a season I needed you to push up that mountain. For a season you needed to push through the fire and the struggles so that you could be prepared and equipped for greater things.

But right now my child, I want you to stop. Stop struggling, stop travailing, stop pushing. Stop relying on your tools and on your experience, but instead look up. Drop your backpack and look up.

I am waiting there to lift you up out of this arduous road up the mountain and I want to take you by the hand and lift you up to the mountain top. All you have to do is grab my hand and trust in me.

You have struggled for a long season and I just want to give you a break now. Yes you have heard right! I want you to take a break with me. Drop everything, stop everything and just mount my wings and escape with me.

Perhaps you are not sure if you should do that because you think you should push on and keep on acquiring tools and learning the lessons. My child, trust me, if you just stop and mount my wings, you will learn more than you could by pushing on harder.

You will gain a greater victory and a greater peace inside. You will rise up higher than before. Because you see, it is I who trains you. It is I who molds you.

Your circumstances can be a tool in the molding process, but at the end of the day it is I who does the work in you. So trust me and stop for a moment and just escape with me.

Let me fill you up afresh and let me lift you up. Let me show you lands and seas you have never seen before. Let me show you views that will make your heart jump for joy. Let me show you what only I can show you. Trust in me my child and mount my wings now, says the Lord.
