Blessed Rest

Well, here I am. Resting. Rest is such a beloved thing. Not that I'm lazy, don't think that. I just cherish the rest I'm getting over this christmas break. This past school semester WIPED me out. For the beginning of it, I was constantly stressed or worried or fretting over some assignment or another, but God has taught me peace. Through rough circumstances and trying times, God has brought me into a supernatural peace that only he can give. I still fail, and worry and fret sometimes...but its so unnecessary. And with our living God who CREATED this world we live in and has ALWAYS been around, who CREATED the TIME that we so desperately worry about and seek to save or use up, who LOVES every facet of us, who though PERFECT and BLAMELESS died for US, how could we not give him the gift of trusting in him? When we truly give God an ounce of the respect he deserves...there's no room for worrying! True, not everything goes well, and things are hard in this world, but we get to live with a God in our hearts who loves us with an everlasting love and is ulitmately perfect and supreme in every way...so why SHOULD we worry? We shouldn't. Ah, peace. All this I've just said is still difficult for me. But, I'm trying my best. So often I get caught up in the worries and cares of this world when all I want to do is be swept off my feet by my savior. Jesus won't you come and romance me once more? Forever and eternally I'm all yours.
