Never Too Tired for JOY!

Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Don’t tell me that you’re so tired 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.  Many of you have young families and that in itself is a major responsibility. Others of us are at the stage in our lives where we are caring for aging parents. If we have jobs outside the home, we have to…and should…give our best efforts to our employer.  There are church activities and civic organizations …and so many other “good things”.

            Though our reasons are different, every one of us experiences weariness.  Our bodies get to the point where we crave rest.  I remember as a young mother, wondering if I would EVER get another good night’s sleep!  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.  Many of the "good things" may not be His best for us.  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 labor 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 your Joy Juice faithfully.
