Editor’s Journal: Embrace His Peace and He Will Give You Rest
“Walk with me & work with me—watch how I do it…Learn the unforced rhythms of grace… Keep company with me…you’ll learn to live freely & lightly.” Matthew 11:28 MSG
.
In a world that’s hurried & image and success-driven God can give you rest & peace in Him to live like Heaven on Earth… Ever since I was a shy little girl I was ambitious & creative. I started my first business in elementary school selling a homemade magazine, art & cards to teachers & friends & continued my ventures into high school & college running a nonprofit for kids & branding & design firm…
All was great until I became a workaholic & performance-driven – I found my value & worth in serving others (serving is a good thing but not when it is your only value) my talents, the praises of others and the awards and scholarships I won.
Inside I was broken, isolated. I mistreated my body and felt like a robot who longed for relationship and for identity but didn’t know I could find it in God. Suddenly in an encounter in the emergency room He showed me His love & how He did intend us to work and be fruitful like in the Garden but in a less hurried, more full way- His success is spiritual, relational, mental, physical and eternal.
With His grace and supernatural power we can have more impact with less striving & grind- He can give us wisdom to do more without neglecting relationships, health and our connection with Him.
Jesus saved the world in three years of ministry and He spent most of His time with God, family and His disciples- go forth boldly toward your purpose but remember there’s more to life than constant hustle.
I want to encourage you to work from His grace and rest, not in trying to impress anyone. His dream for you is that you love & partner with Him & His family in purpose to draw people to Him & have a bigger impact then we could ever have in our strength.
Come give Him your burdens & pain – He can handle it and trade you for His peace that surpasses understanding! “Come to me, all you who are weary & burdened & I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you & learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart & you will find rest for your soul…
