You're gonna be more than just "fine".

So I'm kinda taking a little bit of a step back from life right now.  Taking sometime to sit down for a while. Sit down, look around and listen. But if you know me well, you know this girl doesn't do a "quiet" life all that well. And so I fight it.  But in the rare moments of my quiet, in the quiet change, in the raw basics, the stripped to the bone moments of life, that the truth seems to just boil down.  Boil down into a calm simmer of simplicity.


And today, today this is what I hear Christ say:


You are gonna be more than just "fine".  I'm gonna heal you whole and write you a new song.  I'm gonna sing songs of peace to your wounds of greatest grief.  I'm taking your heart of stone and I'm giving you a live, beating one.  A wild one. So sit in the shelter of my love while I transplant your heart, while I re-grow something beautiful. 

It's Monday and maybe you're already feeling defeated by this week,


 this offer still stands:


 "come to me, all who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for you souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28


Come you, you who are weary to the core, you who's soul feels ripped out and trampled on, you who feels defeated and beat up by life, you who experiences tragedy after tragedy, you who are sick and suffering, you who are straight up burnt out, you who are disappointed by life. 


come.


you.


come.


Rest is still my offer. Rest deep to the core of your bones. Rest deep in the lost places of your heart. Rest in the frantic worrying's of your mind. Rest in the restless stress beats of anxiety.


Rest.


Soul Rest.


So come...


Just come.


Come find rest. Come find me.
