If you have become a believer and accepted Christ as your personal Savior, you have also acquired a new identity (2 Corinthians 5:17). It’s a free gift but you have to acknowledge your need and accept it (John 1:12).

 

Once you acquire that new identity, you can begin to appreciate the breadth and depth of His love for you. (Ephesians 3:17-19)

 

Sometimes you just need to be still and let it sink in.

 

As you begin to experience His great love, you will find rest for your soul.

 

He will begin to change you from the inside out through His Holy Spirit living inside you.

 

Are you on board as a believer with a new identity?

Are you ready to let your burdens go? Do you have a faith that rests?

 

We may desire to do God’s will and bring Him glory, but all of our effort and struggling can bring disappointment and even a sense of hopelessness over time. 

 

Andrew Murray, the nineteenth century writer and pastor, writes that God is the only source of power. He is the Almighty and He works all. He writes, “Entering the rest of God is the ceasing from self-effort, and the yielding up oneself in the full surrender of faith to God’s working.”

 

Jesus wants to bring us into union with Himself into the place of rest and love. Isn’t this reassuring?

 

Have you been able to give your problems, pressures and difficulties to Him? Will you allow Him to do the work to bring you into His rest?

My nephew enjoys playing the keyboard with the worship band at his church. He’s also a graphic artist and created this graphic. The heart of the message is focused on ” the rest “. 

 

I am trying to take a rest this coming week leading up to the busy school season about to get underway. This means disciplining myself to put aside my routine of checking off my to-do list and shifting my focus to spending some time with my son and, hopefully, some extra time to read and recharge. My son will be gone in the blink of an eye and I’ll be glad for whatever time that I’m able to set aside and spend with him. Also, setting aside some rest time for myself will help me to be a better Mom. 

 

The words of John Ruskin paint a meaningful picture. Day by day, I am learning about rest.

 

Are you well-rested? I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you strike the next note full and clear.

Has your faith grown enough that you can let go of your burdens and rest in Him?

 

Our efforts to do God’s will and bring Him glory often become a struggle that ends in disappointment and, over time, lead us to a sense of hopelessness.

 

Andrew Murray, a pre-eminent author and pastor, emphasizing that God, the Almighty, works all, concludes that He is the only source of power. He writes, “Entering the rest of God is the ceasing from self-effort, and the yielding up of oneself in the full surrender of faith to God’s working.” 

 

Scripture confirms that Jesus wants to bring us into union with Himself and to a place of rest and love. Isn’t this reassuring? 

 

Have you been able to give your problems, pressures and difficulties to Him? Can you trust Him to take up your burdens and struggling and enter His rest?

As the Lord encourages a closer walk with Him, my faith grows and becomes more integral to everything that I do.

 

A growing faith increases my desire to share my hope in Christ and helps me to assist clients to understand and experience the rest that only God can provide.

 

Faith also increases our comprehension of His love and cements our trust in Him to meet our deepest needs.

 

God alone is worthy of our worship and He is always faithful to keep His promises to us. When we have faith in Him, we can experience genuine rest and His great love. 

 

Many tend to look to their partner to meet needs that can only be met by the Lord.  

 

Who or what are you putting your faith in? To whom are you looking to meet your needs?

Are you feeling weary?

 

Maybe you are being challenged by a relationship with conflicts that are weighing you down. 

 

Do you sometimes wonder why God does not seem to be helping you with your burdens?

 

Are you confused about why He allows your strife to continue?

 

Consider the truth in these words written by the late pastor Albert B. Simpson:

 

“He has let that trouble come to you, beloved, just for an opportunity to get you out of it, that it may be a stepping stone to Himself”.  

 

Could it be that the challenges that you are experiencing are being used by the Lord Jesus to call you closer to Him?

 

Are you ready to accept His offer of rest?
