Give you rest

 We live in a world where there is something constantly going on. Even whenever you and I are sleeping at night, there are millions of people  awake and doing something.  Somebody is on an airplane, somebody is laying in bed staring at their ceiling, someone is sick, someone is dying, someone is crying over there lost a loved one who just passed away that day, someone is working, someone is praying,  and someone is just sitting there. 

 Did you know that Jesus wants to give you rest? Not only physically, but mentally. You can go get the fanciest in most expensive massage, you can go shopping, you can go play golf or fish or hunt, whatever comes your brain down, you can go do that. But, there is nothing in this world that can give you true rest like Jesus Christ. He came to give us rest. This world and life as we know it will one day be over.  In 50 years I will either be in heaven or I will be nearly 77 years old. Let's say I'm in heaven. That will be true, perfect and holy rest.  Let's say I'm still here. I will likely be a great grandma by then and have lots of gray hair. I will be much stronger in the Lord,  even more than I am now, because at that point I will have been saved nearly 60 years instead of nearly 10 years. 

 If you're reading this and you are tired, physically, mentally, or both, I want to assure you that you can find rest in Jesus Christ. Place your trust, faith, and hope in him. All you have to do is except him as your Savior.  He's been waiting so long for you to except him. People have been praying for you to make this decision. Allow him to come into your heart and your life. He wants to dwell inside of you. If you're reading this and for some odd reason I'm not on this earth anymore, just know that I am in heaven.  Jesus Christ is my very best friend and he has given me nearly 10 years of rest. He has held me when I have been alone. He has comforted me whenever I have felt very sad and alone. He has strengthened me when I was weak. He has giving me peace about death and allowed me to not be afraid of the future. 

Jesus Christ is the only one who can give you true rest in life and eternity. You must except him though. Turn from your wicked ways. Choose Jesus. Follow after him.  Make him the Lord of your life. Let him reign in your life.  Trust Jesus. Lean on Jesus. You will never regret it. You will only regret that you didn't make the decision sooner. He wants to give you rest. Finally except his love for you.  I promise, it'll be the best decision you've ever made in your life.
