Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him. (Psalm 37:7)
You said to me “Quiet yourself now,
I know of your labors and the weight of your exhaustion...
rest in me as I lift the “busyness of life”
and every burden from your shoulders...
let Me carry that for you... (Matthew 11:28-30)
What sweet, gentle words of comfort.
What relief!
The oppressive load that sapped my strength has been lifted...
“Yes... simply rest in Me...
here is peace for your soul...
uninterrupted rest.”
“Here is My yoke, try this on...
one size fits all...
learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart.”
Lord, I never knew what was lighter than air.
This is marvellous!
Now I see what the Psalmist meant when he said
“Cast your burden upon the Lord
and he will sustain you.” (Psalm 55:1)
As You lifted my concerns,
You lifted me up to Yourself,
renewing my strength (Isaiah 40:31)
Keep me here, in Your presence.
I need nothing else.
