His Rest..

Oh I truly do cherish these days.....these long, tiring, wonderful days.....

A dear friend shared these special words with me, and I hope you will read them and be blessed and encouraged, as I was. Our call as Mothers is SUCH an honor and a privilege.

~His Rest~

By Diane Head

If ever anyone needs rest, it is today’s mother. And I have great news, there is rest for us.....a rest more rejuvenating than a long and leisurely nap. This rest reaches into the depths of our souls and claims us from within.

This special promise of rest comes from Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:29: “ take my yoke upon you and learn from me.....and you will find rest.” The yoke spoken of in this passage is fashioned of discipline and discipleship; its lining is love. Rather than bringing restriction it brings refreshment. Through this yoke, He calls us to learn of Himself and find quietness and blessed rest.

Rest for the soul is the most desirable rest. It affects not only our spiritual health, but our emotional & physical health too. The only way to receive this rest is to sit at Christ’s feet and hear his word, Take time to learn more about who he is and what he is like.
