Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened and I will cause you to rest. I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls. (Matthew 11:28)
In addition to having snack-time, and playground time, I am envious that my son gets to have both as well as an afternoon nap at daycare. Think of how much more productive adults would be if they were allowed to pull out the red and blue mats and take an hour-long power nap every day…
True rest, physically and mentally, is highly underrated. God actually wants us to stop, rest, and take a mental break for our souls as well. It’s hard to find true peace when your mind is constantly at work, trying to figure out what you should do about everything in your life.
The next time you are worn out from a tiring and exhausting day, take some time to experience rest and peace by going to Christ and allowing Him to refresh your soul. We all have this wonderful privilege, so take advantage of resting in Jesus’ loving arms.
