Inspired by . . . rest
We've had so much wind here these last few weeks my poor plants are feeling tattered and {I'm sure} thinking they were better off back at the nursery! How can they grow, and bloom, and become all they were meant to be when they're constantly assaulted and beaten down by these winds?
Does this sound a bit like your life?
Do you want to "bloom where you're planted" only to find that you're constantly battered by the storms of life? Going from one crisis to the next, barely keeping your head above water?
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. Hebrews 4:9
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt 11:28
It requires all the energy that the plant has to produce a bloom. To do so it must be connected to the Source. The stalk, the vine, the root, whatever the case may be.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5
In order for you to bloom – I mean really bloom, you must be connected to Him. Part of being connected to Him is resting in Him. When we come to Him and willingly give up our burdens – and rest – that is when He {re} fills us up with the life-giving, life-saving stuff we need to bloom and bless!
Here's one thing I know for sure; Jesus will not come to you and wrestle those burdens away. He will not come and demand them from you.
You must come to Him. And willingly give - that which you really don't want anyway, but may have become a little too comfortable with?
It's time.
You know what you need to do.
Blessings,
