"Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

I've been learning a lot about rest lately. I can totally identify with the overwhelming longing to do nothing at all but just have it all stop. I want things to jest resolve and go away so I can just rest, but that's not rest in Christ, that's our rest, which will only help us for a day. Christ's rest is far less attractive but far more deeply good. It's a rest in work and agony and under all the weight of life. It's a deep, underlying rest, not an escape. It's not our idea of rest, it's better. I don't claim to have found more than a glimpse of it every now and then, but it's there - freely offered.
