I can’t help but think that how I feel right now is a reflection of how God feels about me. He has given me everything—life, peace, joy, love—and I know almost unfailingly that he is near, closer than I can imagine. Yet I make my life difficult, causing frustration and bringing upon myself the unnecessary all out of self-centeredness.
I wear myself out become restless amidst the circumstances of my life and just when I think I can’t do it anymore, that I have nothing left, He sets down everything He is doing. He envelopes me in His eternal embrace, picking me up in His arms. The profound peace I experience is His lullaby. I am at long last at in my Father’s arms.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”
