•Rest In the Lord•

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

This month for me has been very hard , from the volcano eruption to 5 of our team members leaving it’s been tough. I’ve been trying to figure out what the lord was willing me to do, instead of thinking to much on it I went with the flow. I worked myself to frustration, during times of cleaning up the debris I was numb, but I often felt the presence of the lord. I was actually beginning to love doing the extra tasks to serve the lord and my inward complaining came to a end. I didn’t realize I was just in auto pilot, not considering the lord and coming to him in need. I thought working hard enough would ease the emotions, but he told me it still wasn’t enough. I was waking up just to go back to sleep again. I was out for 3 days, down with an infection and that’s when I truly heard the lord speak to me, he wanted me to rest not physically but emotionally and with all I have, rest in him. It took me getting sick and having nowhere else to turn but strictly to him in order to fully understand what he was showing me. I can’t get the tasks done with a grateful heart without him, my body will continue to ache without him. My spirits will dim without him. In all things I need Jesus, before I sleep at night, before my feet hit the floor in the morning; and all throughout the day I need him. I find rest in him, peace and tranquillity.
