Christ offers us
peace, rest
Rest from the
burdens, the heavy loads
of life, of our
day to day, our lives cluttered
filled by the
urgent, not the important
the stones we
carry, not from God
Rest from the
struggles, in the grace of simplicity
sitting at the
feet of Jesus, hearing His message
the discipline of
letting go, of setting down
the unnecessary
load, of picking up the yoke of Christ
the yoke that is
light, from our God
Rest under His
yoke, sharing the journey with our Savior
walking in His
presence, in His light, transformed
on the Road to
Emmaus, on the road home,
released of the
loads, the burdens we have carried
the stones we have
picked up, not from God
Rest for the
journey, focused, our eyes on Him,
looking up into
his face, seated at His feet
our heart, our
faces, set for Jerusalem, to His destiny
understanding more
fully, perhaps, the words of the Master
what we are meant
to hear, if we will listen
Rest for today,
for tomorrow, lives ordered by the rocks,
by the important
things of our walk, our days
eating of the
bread, of the living water,
not the sand of
the urgent, the busyness of our lives
Rest in our Lord,
under his yoke, together
