Rest

Well, its very late at night, and I am trying to rest. Rest.  I feel like I am never caught up on rest...and there are alot of reasons for that-

one being, I look to the wrong things for rest. Often when I need to rest, its not just physical, but emotional and spiritual rest are so needed, especially when so many people literally come to me for answers, and spiritual guidance.

two is, Im an introvert, but I've been living like an extrovert. Basically, I havent been giving myself enough time with God and alone to meet my needs.

Today, I read Matt 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." 
He says to come to Him, that is JESUS. Come to a person. Not a computer, hobby, friend, tv, exercise, phone.....but to God Himself, Jesus. And He says we will get rest. It will be given... 


I think this goes very deep for me, because often I need a peace about my soul, that everything is taken care of, and because I feel burdens deeply and am a people pleaser, its even more important for me to really do this- come to Jesus with everything. 


He is where our needs are met, and the only one that can truly give us deep lasting rest. Resting in the promises of God and resting in the knowledge that my salvation, my lot in life, is secure, it is finished.
