Find Rest, Peace and Joy in Christ



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Don’t tell me that you’re so tired that you forgot!

            Do you ever find yourself really having a hard time concentrating and remembering things, simply because you are so weary?  There are many things that demand our time.  Some of you who are listening have a young family and that in itself is a major responsibility.  If you have a job outside the home, you are expected to give your best efforts to your employer.  There are church activities, civic organizations and many good things that we desire to be a part of.

            Though our reasons are different, every one of us experiences weariness.  Our bodies get to the point where we crave rest.  Young moms, sometimes I am sure you wonder if you will EVER get to sleep through the night again!  But those times do come and go…and then we fill our days with other “busyness”.  

            If we’re not careful, we’ll find ourselves running in circles….staying busy but really not accomplishing much!  As in everything, we should seek God’s wisdom in determining His will and purpose for each day.  Sometimes He may simply want us to “rest” and get renewed in Him.

            In Matthew 11: 28, Jesus tells us to “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” 
           
            If you find yourself weary and “heavy laden”, do as Jesus says and “Come to Him.”  He is waiting with arms open wide, to renew your spirit and fill you with His strength and JOY.

            Find rest in your relationship with Jesus as your drink in His love and joy.
