3. Being Busy doesn’t impress God.

I think sometimes we fall into the trap of thinking that if we’re not constantly wearing ourselves out, then we’re not pleasing God. He never called us to break our backs in impress Him. If fact, even though life will often be hard, Jesus promises to be our Oasis, not our Slavedriver.

Jesus says, “Come to me all you who are weary and carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest. My yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Rest in the knowledge that God loves you, He is with you, and no matter what you’re going through, He will be one the one to carry you through!
