"Belove get Real"

"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." 
MATTHEW 11: 28(KJV) 

  Some people will do everything they can to complicate the life of faith. They'll try to strangle you with rules and trip you up with regulations. And they'll appoint themselves as watch dogs of your fath if you let them. 
   Steer clear of those people! If you don't, they'll strip the beauty and freedom out of your heart as quickly as i pour it in. The best way to learn to travel the faith journey is to walk with me. There is a freedom that you'll learn to put on every day a freedom tailor-made for you. There's a dance of grace so joyful it makes you feel you're flying. Watch and follow Me. If you find that Christianity exhaust you, draining you of your energy, then you are practicing religion rather than enjoying a relationship. Jesus said that a relationship with Him would bring rest to your soul. Your walk with the Lord will not make you weary; it will invigorate you, restore your strength, and energize your life. Hard work or lack of sleep can make you tired. This fatigue can usally be remedied by goot rest. But there is a deeper fatigue that goes beyond physical tiredness. There is an emotional exhaustion that comes from experiencing heavy burdens and draining crises. There is a tiredness deep within your soul that comes from carrying the weight of the needs of others. You can go on a vacation, but your soul will not be restored. This condition can only be rectified by finding rest in Chtist. Some zealous Christian want to do all they can to serve Christ, and they exhsust themselves in the process. It was to these that Jesus extended His invitation to go to Him and learn from Him. Jesus spent most of His earthly ministry sorrounded by needy multitudes. He faced relentless opposition. He often prayed throughtout the night, and He rarely had any privacy; yet He always received the rest and strength that came from His father. It was not that Jesus  did not work hard but that He knew the path to spiritual resf. Are you weary? Go to Jesus and let Him give you His rest. His rest will restore your soul as nothing else can. Beloved get Real!
