Rest

"Come to me...take my yoke and learn from Me..." (Matt 11:28-30)

True rest, the rest Jesus gives, comes when we learn from Him.

Often we want rest, but refuse to learn His heart, His ways.

There is no rest on our terms, only on His.

"Your wind breathes where it wishes,

moves where it wills, sometimes

severs my safe moorings. Sovereign gusts -

buffet my winds with your blowing,

loosen me, lift me to go

wherever you're going."

(Pneuma, by Luci Shaw)
