Entering His Rest

 "Come to me all who are weary and carrying heavy burdens
And I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you.
  Let me teach you for I am gentle and humble of heart, 
and I will give you rest for your soul.  
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30


I have changed the title of my blog!  Lately life does not seem like an adventure but more a place of resting with the Lord.  After receiving Matthew 11:28-30 nearly thirty times over a period of weeks in late fall 2012, I am only now beginning to understand these words from Jesus.  It seems only right to make a shift here, too, as I grow and learn from my Teacher.

This past week I have begun reading several things about "entering His rest" and what it means.  Reading what the Bible has to say about rest, and what teachers like Graham Cooke, Faith Blatchard, Andrew Wommack, and Greg Mohr say on the subject is enlightening me.  So much to learn so little time.  For now, I am resting physically and spiritually, and give thanks for God's goodness, and for those of you who grace my cyber home.

I'm glad you're getting rest, and I know that I am continuing to learn from what you share about it. Hugs.

Entering His Rest sounds like a great title and an even better place to be. I hope you share some of your studies and how it touches you as your writing and your story always touches me so deeply.

Hugs, Ginny

You are listening closely to Spirit and going in the direction of leading. I love it! I was thinking of how I need to rest yesterday myself and this scripture came to mind, and of course you did as well.I have been very weary and grieving since moving mom at the first of the month. Yesterday I did almost nothing, today looks like I will have the same agenda. Simply rest...
