Rest For Your Souls


You’re weary with the weight of the world. You look in the mirror and don’t love what you see. The loneliness in your heart threatens to break you. The feelings of singleness triple.

But in the back of your mind, in the pit of your heart, there is an echo – a still small voice. “My child – I am here. I give you that which only I can give, a peace that only I can instill. It is in My presence that your identity, your fulfillment is found. Rest in Me. Cast your burdens at the foot of the cross that I bore for you.”

We’re daughters, sisters, mothers, friends. We try to take on more than we can bear, but the beautiful thing is that we don’t have to carry them alone. Our problems, our secrets, our insecurities, our desires and longings.

Find the rest that you so deeply need in Scripture, in the written Word of God. Nothing comforts a weary soul quite like the gentle words of our King. He promises to bear the weight that we cannot, to meet us at the place we’re in, to walk beside us through our darkest valley’s.

To those struggling with the face looking back in the mirror, remember this: You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you (Song of Solomon 4:7). You are beautiful, so outrageously beautiful to our Savior.

To those on the verge of breaking, loneliness at your heels, hold fast to the promise that we will never walk alone; God has promised never to leave us, never to forsake us.

Seek Him for rest, and you will find peace that surpasses all understanding.
