Are you tired?
Worn out?
Burned out on religion?
Come to me. Get away
with me and you'll recover your life.
I'll show you how to take a real
rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the
unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on
you.
Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.
-Jesus of Nazareth
I forget how much I love Eugene Peterson's The Message. While writing bible studies tonight, I read this from Matthew and was blown away at how eloquently these verses are written. What an amazing lesson for society today. I think I might even read it at youth group on Wednesday.
I need to spend some more time reading, reflecting, sharing, and teaching from The Message.
