2. Restless
‘Lord, You have made us for Yourself;
and our hearts will always be restless, until they rest in You.’
Are you restless?
Do you feel dissatisfied with things as they are?
Do you want more, but you are not sure what that more is, or where to find it?
Are you always busy achieving your goals, but find when you have achieved them that you are left with a feeling of unfulfilment?
We have been made by God.
God made us for Himself.
Only in God will we find our peace and our joy.
Every attempt to find an ultimate resting place will fail,
until we accept that our home is in God.
But how do we climb up to heaven?
We cannot. We do not need to.
God, in His love and mercy, has come down to us.
In Jesus, God has come among us as one of us,
as a human being,
to be seen and touched and heard.
He speaks to us,
‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke and learn from me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.’ (Matthew 11.28-30)
Allow Jesus to be your Way to God.
Follow his gentle voice and he will guide you
to the only home where your heart will find rest.
