Wholeness Takes Time

2 Comments

Wednesday

Wholeness takes time.

Abundant life in Christ includes abundant rest in Him.

Resting from trying to figure it all out.

Resting from worrying yourself sick.

Resting from trying to control everything and have the answers for everything.

“May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ.

The One who called you is completely dependable.

If he said it, he’ll do it!”

1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:23-24‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Take a deep breath, slow down.

The very best thing you can do is rest in Him.

The Lord isn’t slow in keeping His promises, He is faithful to complete what He has started and is completely dependable.

Let Jesus work.

God knows real change takes time and He is willing to wait.

Rest in Him today and give yourself permission to stop worrying about things you can’t control.

I know it isn’t easy and life may not make sense right now.

Hold on, my friend.

Let Jesus work.

Trust in Him.

Put yourself and what is weighing heavy on your heart into His Hands.

He is patient with you (and with others) because He sees more than you do, His reach extends yours and His knowledge is not hindered by time or eternity.

God knows real change takes time and He is willing to wait.

Abundant Rest

Abundant life in Christ includes abundant rest in Him. It is easy to mistake more for better and busy for important.

“The Lord isn’t slow to keep his promise, as some think of slowness, but he is patient toward you, not wanting anyone to perish but all to change their hearts and lives. “(2 Peter 3:9 CEB)

Slow down, my friend. 

I know you are tired and God knows it too.

In the pursuit of the abundant life, we can mistake more for better, busy for important. 

What is important is to slow down and take a deep breath. The Lord isn’t slow in keeping His promises and your effort doesn’t hurry it up. He is faithful to complete that which He starts. 

In fact, sometimes the very best thing to do is rest. Trust. Slow down and look around. 

We may be impatient to see change, impatient to see the result we desire when we want to see it. 

Slow down, put yourself and what is weighing heavy on your heart into His Hands. 

He is patient with you (and with others) because He sees more than we do, His reach extends ours and His knowledge is not hindered by time or eternity. 

God knows real change takes time and He is willing to wait.

Rest in Him today and give yourself permission to stop worrying about things you can’t control. In music, the rests are as powerful as the notes to create music. 

Have a great day pursuing God’s best and God’s rest.

P.S. I just wanted you to know how much I love to hear from you as you pursue God’s plan and purpose for your life. I love and appreciate each comment, text and word of encouragement I receive. Thank You!

I’m going to go rest right now, as a matter of fact. Have a great day pursuing God’s best and God’s rest.
