“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
God rested on the seventh day of his creating. Jesus often went off to rest and to pray during his earthly ministry. Jesus promises us rest in him. Rest, though an often-neglected gift of our God, is nonetheless vital for our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. In fact, we are created to rest in God, as he rests in us. Such rest can take many different forms, but we can be assured that in our severe cultural and societal deficit in true, life-giving rest, such rest is worth pursuing.
