Get the appRun / Rest: A 40 Day Journey Toward RestSample
Do you ever feel like you just need a rest sometimes? Everyone does!
๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐: Matthew 11:28-30
๐ ๐ข๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐
This verse is the open invitation Jesus has given every human. You don't need to strive for his approval or affection. You don't need to strive for anyoneโs approval or affection. Your worth and value is not determined by your behavior or performance but by Godโs love for you โ always, all day, every day. Regardless of your accomplishments, grade point average, family background, or financial status, you are loved by God. The same invitation Jesus gave his followers many years ago is the same one he gives us today. Instead of pushing through the tiredness and weariness, take a moment and breathe. Remind yourself that Jesus is with you and for you.
โ ๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ฌ:
Whatโs the best way for you to take a break and have a moment with God today? Is it through prayer ๐? Perhaps a walk outside ๐ถโโ๏ธ? Maybe even taking a nap ๐ด? And before you judge yourself too harshly for needing a nap, remember, even Jesus napped. So donโt be afraid to run toward rest in whatever way you need today.
