I WILL GIVE YOU REST

Today I woke up feeling happy and excited.You know the kind of days that you tell yourself this is the day the Lord has made i will be glad and rejoice in it..That one!As I walked to the bus stop  was whispering in my head, I praise you Lord for I am beautifully and wonderfully made.

It's noon and my heart has just sank. Many thoughts flowing through my mind. Reason: Unknown. I think its just one of those sudden feelings that comes.So I decide to bow my head on my desk for some minutes and to think properly.Some friends say I tend to be overly analytical.

With my head bowed,I began asking myself what has downcast you Oh my soul.Then came the answer.The Stuck feeling. The feeling that I am not where am supposed to be. The empty feeling like the wheels of my life are stuck in mud.

Just as I am sharing with a friend "my discovery", a beautiful Scripture comes to me that says

That's when it dawns on me that when Christ said He will give us rest, He was referring to  literally every burden. Including the burdens of feelings.The inadequacies of everyday.

I felt the urge to write this to encourage you who is feeling stuck in life, you are feeling inadequate, you feel like your life is losing direction, you feel burdened and bogged down by many thoughts,Christ is saying you can go to Him and He will give you rest.He will give you the peace of heart and mind.

Life is tough I know.No wonder Christ wants to give you rest.
