Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Rest is on your mind. It is an area that is often overlooked or under appreciated. The demands of work life and family life can be overwhelming. It is easy to overbook, over-plan, over-commit. Then you are down for the count! Let Me help you structure your day so balance can be restored. Look to Me for wisdom and order. My Holy Spirit is a counselor and guide. Let Him give you new thoughts and ideas to order your steps. Joy will return when you balance work and rest. Resting can be active, like a walk outdoors, or passive, like reading a book or taking a nap. Give yourself permission to care for yourself. It is not selfish. It is self-care. I invite you to swing in a heavenly hammock. Put your feet up, gaze at the sky, appreciate moments of joy, tell a joke, call a friend, dream…. Abide with Me; enjoy each new day, I am walking beside you.

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 NIV
