Matthew 11:28-30
New International Version (NIV)
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
It is so easy some days to just let it all get you down and give up and just go hide. I have had this verse in mind a lot lately for various reasons. One, Steven hasn't been having the best sleep patterns so I have been losing sleep over that. His obsessing over camping and a non existent DVD is mental taxing. I have been experiencing a good bit of pain that is making it impossible to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time before waking up and having to make a conscience decision of how to lay down to go back to sleep. It also has resulted in me waking up early even when Steven sleeps in. And last but definitely not least. There are so many people out there attacking people because they are Christians. I understand there are those out there that call themselves Christian, but they forget the most important thing about being a child of God. LOVE! We have to LOVE people whether we agree with them or not. We don't have to agree with them, we don't have to hang out with them, but we do have to LOVE them. I know my refuge is in God and I know He loves me and will bring me through. Just please remember that being a Christian and standing up for beliefs does not mean that you are hateful, ignorant or fearful. So many people make that mistake when we disagree. This means we need to show the world the LOVE of God all the more, to help them know we are not out to hurt them but to LOVE them.
