YOU DONT HAVE TO EARN REST

Is there any rest for the weary? Have you run yourself into the ground? Are you working longer hours to ensure you have money  to cover your bills? Have you taken a break since this pandemic started?  Have you gone outside of your living space, just to see how the rest of the world is living? The reason why I asked this is because I had to take a journey. I had to take a trip. I had to leave the safety and the comfort of my home to visit my family. And I can tell you, it was the best thing that I've ever done in my life. I needed the rest. I wanted to get away. Spiritually, I desired to get away. Physically,  I had to get away. Back to the familiar. Back to being home. I also needed to go overseas to do something completely different. Taking me out of the normal and changing out of the routine. Again, the best thing I could have ever done. Why? To get some rest. Beautiful rest. Successful rest. Glorious rest. You can't do too much when your soul is tired. You can try to sleep. You can try to eat. You can try to stay healthy and take care of yourself. When you have literally drained your personal battery down to zero, you need to replenish it. So many of us have burnt the candles on both ends. So many of us have stressed and strived our way through. So many of us have experienced loss during this time (loss of co workers, family, friends). It can really be devastating. The one thing I can tell you....you deserve rest. In the Bible there are 380 references to rest. God rested on the seventh day after He created heaven and earth. If God needed a break, you need a break. So I just implore you, take the time to enjoy the view. Take the time to relax your mind. Take the time to enjoy your family, friends and loved ones, wherever they may be. Be safe. Be careful. Follow the rules. No need to survive this pandemic and then wind up with this disease.  Dont slack up on your safety precautions. As the world is opening up, it's okay for you to open up as well. Now if you're not ready, take care of you. Whatever you need to do to protect your mental, physical or spiritual do that. You don't need permission to rest. You don't have to have someone sign off on you resting. We've seen athletes recently,  taking time away from their sports to rest. And it is the best thing they could ever do. And the best thing you could ever do. Take care of your mental. Take care of your physical. Take care and god bless. Share your thoughts and comments below.
