Bright, Pretty Things: "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.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls." Matthew 11:28-29 Amplified Do you see that part at the end there? where it says you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet)??? joyce meyer pointed out that that is basically like a VACATION FOR YOUR SOUL. and not because god will take away all your problems. nope! not that at all. it's because no matter what your circumstances are, what situation you feel is impossible, IN THAT MOMENT, IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE, he will give your soul (mind, will, emotions) a rest, because you can actually turn those problems over to him in prayer and he will take care of it. while you relax and enjoy life. LIFE CHANGED. that's not to say that i don't freak out about stuff occasionally read: everyday. but i am LEARNING and go back to the cross instead of drowning in guilt and hopelessness.
