Its Time to Take a Break!

Its Time to Take a Break!

The race has been long and your body has become weary says the Lord. Come into my presence and rest a while. Refresh yourself and gain the strength enough for the next leg of your journey. For I know the way that you have travelled and I know the way that you will yet go. I have prepared the way ahead of you and for now, it is for you to rest. For it is not a waste of time to rest. It is not a waste of time to tarry a while and to remain silent in my presence. For I do not need you to perform or to even say anything. I do not need your praise. I do not need your sacrifice. I only need your heart my child. So come to me with this simplicity. Come and be with me simply - to be with me! Come and sit at my knee and smile as you feel my arms surrounding you.
Out of all the things that you have done for me, the things I treasure the most are the moments that you invited me into your life and allowed me to revel with you in your joy! I only want to be a part of what matters to you. I want to be in the moments of your rest and in the heat of the battle. I want to share it all with you and be there to refresh you each step of the way.
So rest. Rest from your striving. Rest from your work. Rest from your failing and rest from your struggles. Simply come to me and sit in my presence and let me tell you how much I love you. Let me paint a new picture for what the journey ahead will look like. Then I will open the door and you can run again. For now though, it is time to rest and to marvel in my goodness says the Lord. Amen
